Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
आश्चर्य तें एक जालें । मना आलें माझिया ॥1॥
मढएापाशीं करुणा केली । तैसी गेली वृथा हे ॥ध्रु.॥
न यावा तो कैसा राग । खोटें मग देखोनि ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे कैंचा बोला । शोध विठ्ठला माझिया ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
One strange thing has come to my mind. I showed compassion to a dead thing, and that compassion went entirely to waste. How can one not feel anger upon seeing such falseness? Says Tuka, where are Your words now? Come, search for me, O my Vitthal.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
विरह
Longing and Separation
Cries from the dark night of the soul: remonstrances, complaints, and desperate yearning.
