The Insignificance of Caste
॥
मराठी मूळ · गाथा 121
कन्या गो करी कथेचा विकरा । चांडाळ तो खरा तया नांवें ॥१॥
गुण अवगुण हे दोन्ही प्रमाण । यातिशीं कारण नाहीं देवा ॥२॥
आशाबद्ध नये करूं तें करिती । तुका म्हणे जाती नरकामधीं ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation · I.P. 944
ONE who sells his daughter, his cow or his sermon, he is rightly called a low-caste wretch. The standards of goodness are merits and demerits; God considers not a man's caste. Tuka says, They who do unlawful deeds, these are they who go down into hell.
Tr. J. Nelson Fraser & K.B. Marathe (1909)
