Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
अवघ्या पापें घडला एक । उपासक शक्तीचा ॥1॥
त्याचा विटाळ नको अंगा । पांडुरंगा माझिया ॥ध्रु.॥
काम क्रोध मद्य अंगीं । रंगला रंगीं अवगुणी ॥2॥
करितां पाप न धरी शंका। ह्मणे तुका कोणी ही ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
All sins are gathered in one: the worshiper of Shakti. O my Panduranga, let not his pollution touch my body. He is steeped in lust, anger, and intoxicants, colored through and through with faults. When committing sin, he feels no hesitation. Says Tuka, he fears no one at all.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
