Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
तान्हे तान्ह प्याली । भूक भुकेने खादली ॥1॥
जेथें तें च नाहीं जालें । झाडा घेतला विठ्ठलें ॥ध्रु.॥
वास वासनेसी नाहीं । मन पांगुळलें पायीं ॥2॥
शेष उरला तुका । जीवा जीवीं जाला चुका ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Thirst has drunk up thirst itself. Hunger has been consumed by hunger. Where even the sense of 'there' has been dissolved, Vitthala has swept it all clean. No trace of desire remains; the mind has become lame at his feet. Says Tuka, what remains is the remainder. The soul has slipped away from the soul's grasp.
