Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
॥
मराठी मूळ
काय दिनकरा । केला कोंबड्यानें खरा ॥१॥
कां हो ऐसा संत ठेवा । भार माझे माथां देवा ॥ध्रु.॥
आडविलें दासीं । तरि कां मरती उपवासी ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे हातीं । कळा सकळ अनंतीं ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Does the rooster make the sun rise? Why then, O God, do you place the burden of sainthood upon my head? If servants could obstruct you, people would starve and perish. Says Tuka, all powers rest in the hands of the Infinite One.
