Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
अतिवादी नव्हे शुद्ध या बीजाचा । ओळखा जातीचा अंत्यज तो ॥१॥
वेद श्रुति नाहीं ग्रंथ ज्या प्रमाण । श्रेष्ठाचें वचन न मानी जो ॥ध्रु.॥
तुका म्हणे मद्यपानाचें मिष्टान्न । तैसा तो दुर्जन शिवों नये ॥२॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
One who argues excessively is not of pure origin; recognize him as low-born in character. He does not accept the Vedas, the scriptures, or any sacred text as authority, nor does he honor the words of the wise. Says Tuka, like a delicacy prepared with liquor, such a wicked person must never be touched.

Social Criticism
Rebuke of hypocrisy, caste pride, false teachers, greed, and religious pretence.
