Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
शीतळ साउली आमुची माउली । विठाइऩ वोळली प्रेमपान्हा ॥1॥
जाऊनि वोसंगा वोरस । लागलें तें इच्छे पीइन वरी ॥ध्रु.॥
कृपा तनु माझा सांभाळी दुभूनि । अमृतजीवनी लोटलीसे ॥2॥
आनंदाचा ठाव नाहीं माझा चित्तीं । सागर तो किती उपमेसी ॥3॥
सैर जाये पडे तयेसी सांकडें । सांभाळीत पुढें मागें आस ॥4॥
तुका ह्मणे चिंता कैसी ते मी नेणें । लडिवाळ तान्हें विठाइऩचें ॥5॥
रामचरित्र - अभंग ॥14॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Our mother is a cool shade. Vitthal has come to us, overflowing with the milk of love. Going to her lap, I cling there and drink my fill of all that I desire. She nourishes my body with her grace, pouring forth the nectar of immortal life. The joy within me has no bounds; even the ocean is too small a measure. Wherever she goes, if any trouble presses her, she watches over her child before and behind. Says Tuka, I do not know what worry is. I am the suckling infant of Vitthal, my mother.
