Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram

मराठी मूळ

गोणी आली घरा । दाणे खाऊं नेदी पोरा ॥१॥

भरी लोकांची पांटोरी । मेला चोरटा खाणोरी ॥ध्रु.॥

खवळली पिसी । हाता झोंबे जैसी लांसी ॥२॥

तुका म्हणे खोटा । रांडे संचिताचा सांटा ॥३॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

A sack of grain comes home, but he will not let the children eat a morsel. He fills the bowls of strangers; this wretched hoarder has died to his own family. She rages like a wild woman, clawing like a hook. Says Tuka, O woman, the store of past merit is exhausted; that is why the pile is depleted.

We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
