Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
कौतुकाची सृष्टी । कौतुकें चि केलें कष्टी ॥1॥
मोडे तरी भलें खेळ । फांके फांकिल्या कोल्हाळ ॥ध्रु.॥
जाणणियासाटीं। भय सामावलें पोटीं ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे चेता । होणें तें तूं च आइता ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
This creation was made for sport, and through that sport, suffering was also created. If the game breaks, so be it; when it scatters, there is a great commotion. For the one who knows, fear itself is contained within the belly. Says Tuka, wake up! That which is to happen, you yourself have brought about.
