Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
पाहुणे घरासी । आजि आले हृषीकेशी ॥1॥
काय करूं उपचार । कोंप मोडकी जर्जर ।
कण्या दरदर । पाण्यामाजी रांधिल्या ॥ध्रु.॥
घरीं मोडकिया बाजा । वरि वाकळांच्या शेजा ॥2॥
मुखशुिद्ध तुळसी दळ । तुका ह्मणे मी दुर्बळ ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Today the guest Hrishikesha has come to our house. What hospitality can I offer? The house is broken down and crumbling; the grain is coarse and cooked simply in water. The cots at home are broken, covered with rough blankets for bedding. Says Tuka, I am poor; a tulsi leaf from my mouth is all I can offer to cleanse it.
