Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
जाणपण बरें देवाचे शिरीं । आह्मी ऐसीं बरीं नेणतीं च ॥1॥
देखणियांपुढें रुचे कवतुक । उभयतां सुख वाढतसे ॥ध्रु.॥
आशंकेचा बाधा नाहीं लडिवाळां । चित्त वरि खेळा समबुिद्ध ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे दिशा मोकऑया सकळा । अवकाशीं खेळा ठाव जाला ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Let the knowing rest upon God's head; we are better off remaining innocent and unlearned. Before a discerning audience, the play delights, and joy grows for both sides. The child in God's lap has no burden of doubt; the mind rests evenly upon the game. Says Tuka, all directions have been set free, and in the open sky, a place for play has been found.
