Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
॥
मराठी मूळ
असें येथींचिया दिनें । भाग्यहीन सकळां ॥1॥
भांडवल एवढें गांठी । नाम कंठीं धरियेलें ॥ध्रु.॥
आणिक तें दुजें कांहीं । मज नाहीं यावरी ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे केली कोणें । एवढा नेणें लौकिक ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I am poor and unfortunate by the standards of this world. My only capital is the Name clasped to my throat. Beyond that, I have nothing else. Says Tuka, who has given me even this small measure of worldly standing? I do not know.
