Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
जप करितां राग । आला जवळी तो मांग ॥१॥
नको भोंवतालें जगीं । पाहों जवळी राख अंगीं ॥ध्रु.॥
कुड्याची संगती । सदा भोजन पंगती ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे ब्रम्ह । साधी विरहित कर्म ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
While performing japa, one whom society had cast out came and sat down near me. I need not look around at the world; let me keep sacred ash upon my body. The company of the crooked infects even the communal meal. Says Tuka, seek Brahman free from the entanglement of ritual action.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
