Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
चित्तीं धरीन मी पाउलें सकुमारें । सकळ बिढार संपत्तीचें ॥1॥
कंठीं धरिन मी नाम अमृताची वल्ली । होइऩल राहिली शीतळ तनु ॥ध्रु.॥
पाहेन श्रीमुख साजिरें सुंदर । सकळां अगर लावण्यांचें ॥2॥
करिन अंगसंग बाळकाचे परी । बैसेन तों वरी नुतरीं कडिये ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे हा केला तैसा होय । धरिली मनें सोय विठोबाची ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
In my heart I shall hold those tender feet, the entire treasury of all blessings. On my tongue I shall hold the Name, the vine of nectar. My body shall remain cool with its touch. I shall gaze upon that lovely, radiant face, the storehouse of all beauty. Like a child, I shall cling to Him in embrace and not come down from His lap. Says Tuka, He becomes whatever you make Him. My mind has chosen the path to Vithoba.
