Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
तीथॉ केलीं कोटीवरी । नाहीं देखिली पंढरी ॥1॥
जळो त्याचें ज्यालेंपण । न देखे चि समचरण ॥ध्रु.॥
योग याग अनंत केले । नाहीं समचरण देखिले ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे विठ्ठलपायीं। अनंत तीथॉ घडिलीं पाहीं ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
One may have made ten million pilgrimages and still not seen Pandhari. Let his very birth burn, for it has never beheld the even feet of the Lord. Infinite rituals and sacrifices may be performed, yet without seeing those even feet, all is in vain. Says Tuka, at the feet of Vitthal, countless holy places are contained.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
Devotion to Vitthal
Poems of praise, invocation, and intimate address to Lord Vitthal at Pandharpur.
