Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
माझी पाठ करा कवी । उट लावी दारोदार ॥१॥
तंव तया पारखी सिव । लाजे ठाव सांडितां ॥ध्रु.॥
उष्टावळी करूनि जमा । कुंथुनि प्रेमा आणितसे ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे बाहेरमुदी । आहा च गोविंदीं न सरती ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Some memorize my verses and peddle them door to door. But when an assayer touches the work, the pretender is shamed and abandons the very place. He gathers defiled remnants and strains to produce feeling from them. Tuka says: these outwardly sealed frauds will never be accepted by Govinda.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
