Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
येऊं द्या जी कांहीं वेसकरास । आंतून बाहेर वोजेचा घास ॥१॥
जों यावें तों हात चि रिता नाहीं । कधीं तरीं कांहीं द्यावें घ्यावें ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे उद्यां लावीन म्हनेरा । जे हे दारोदारांभोंवतीं फिरा ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Let something be given to the watchman, even a small morsel of food from inside and outside the house. Whenever he comes, his hand should not return empty; something must be given and taken in exchange. Says Tuka, tomorrow I will impose penalties on those who roam door to door without paying their dues.
