राम
गाथा 66The Moral Ideal

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram

मराठी मूळ

दुर्जनासि करी साहे । तो ही दंड हे लाहे ॥१॥

शिंदळीच्या कुंटणी वाटा । संग खोटा खोट्याचा ॥ध्रु.॥

येर येरा कांचणी भेटे । आगी उठे तेथूनी ॥२॥

तुका म्हणे कापूं नाकें । पुढें आणिकें शिकविती ॥३॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

He who tolerates a wicked person, he too earns the punishment. The lanes of the brothel belong to the faithless; the company of the false is with the false. When one trickster meets another, fire springs up between them. Says Tuka, cut off their noses, and they only teach others to do worse.

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