Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
बहुतें गेलीं वांयां । न भजतां पंढरीराया ॥1॥
करिती कामिकांची सेवा । लागोन मागोन खात्या देवा ॥ध्रु.॥
अवघियांचा धनी । त्यासी गेलीं विसरोनि ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे अंतीं । पडती यमाचिया हातीं ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
So many have wasted their lives by not worshiping the Lord of Pandhari. They serve petty deities, grasping and clinging to consuming gods. They have forgotten the master of all. Says Tuka, in the end they fall into the hands of Yama.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
