Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
वाखर घेउनि आलें । त्यासी तरवारेणें हालें ॥1॥
नव्हे आपुलें उचित । करुनि टाकावें फजित ॥ध्रु.॥
अंगुिळया मोडी। त्यासी काय सिलें घोडीं ॥2॥
नपुंसकासाठीं । तुका ह्मणे न लगे जेठी ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
One who comes with a plough should not be met with a sword. It is not fitting to humiliate someone and cast them aside. Why crack your knuckles at one who comes unarmed? Says Tuka, for an impotent man, no great display is needed.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
