Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
बरें जालें गेलें । आजी अवघें मिळालें ॥१॥
आतां खाईन पोटभरी । ओल्या कोरड्या भाकरी ॥ध्रु.॥
किती तरी तोंड । याशीं वाजवूं मी रांड ॥२॥
तुका बाइले मानवला । चीथू करूनियां बोला ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Good riddance, it all came together today. Now I will eat my fill, whether the bread is fresh or dry. How long should I, a mere woman, keep arguing with this man? Says Tuka, the wife was at last appeased by letting her vent her bitter words.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
