Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
आमच्या हें आलें भागा । जीव्हार या जगाचें ॥1॥
धरूनियां ठेलों जीवें । बळकट भावें एकविध ॥ध्रु.॥
आणूनियां केला रूपा । उभा सोपा जवळी ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे अंकित केला । खालीं आला वचनें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
This has come to us as our rightful share: the very life-marrow of this whole world. I have held it fast with my very life, with firm and single-minded devotion. I brought it into form and made it near, standing simple and close beside me. Says Tuka, I made Him mine. He came down at my words.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
आनंद
Ecstasy and Joy
Triumphant happiness: poems written from the far side of the struggle.
