Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
सोसोनि विपत्ती । जोडी दिली तुझे हातीं ॥1॥
त्याचा हा चि उपकार । अंतीं आह्माशीं वेव्हार ॥ध्रु.॥
नामरूपा केला ठाव। तुज कोण ह्मणतें देव ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे हरी । तुज ठाव दिला घरीं ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
By enduring hardship, I have placed my earnings into Your hands. This alone is the return on the investment: that in the end, our dealings are with You. I have given name and form a dwelling place. Otherwise, who would call You God? Says Tuka, O Hari, I have given You a home in my own house.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
