Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
लागलिया मुख स्तनां । घाली पान्हा माउली ॥1॥
उभयतां आवडी लाडें । कोडें कोड पुरतसे ॥ध्रु.॥
मेळवितां अंगें अंग । प्रेमें रंग वाढतो ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे जड भारी । अवघें शिरीं जननीचे ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
When the infant's lips meet the breast, the mother's milk flows forth. Both are delighted; love and play fulfill each longing. When body presses against body, the color of love deepens. Says Tuka, all the weight, the whole heavy burden, rests upon the mother's head.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
