Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
साधावया भिHकाज । नाहीं लाज हा धरीत ॥1॥
ऐसियासी शरण जावें । शHी जीवें न वंची ॥ध्रु.॥
भीष्मपण केला खरा । धनुर्धरा रक्षीलें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे साक्ष हातीं । तो म्यां चित्तीं धरियेला ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
To fulfill the devotee's cause, he sets aside all shame. Such is the one to whom we should surrender, for he holds nothing back from us. He proved his vow when he protected Arjuna on the battlefield. Says Tuka, the proof is in his hands, and I have fixed him firmly in my heart.
