Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
ह्मणऊनि नििश्चत राहिलों मनीं । तूं चि सर्वां खाणी देखोनियां ॥1॥
कवणाचें कारण न लगे कांहीं । सर्वांठायीं तूं एक।
जळें जळ काय धोविलें एक । कवण तें पातक हरलें तेथें ।
पापपुण्य हे वासना सकळ । ते तुज समूळ समपिऩली ॥2॥
पितरस्वरूपी तूं चि जनादऩन। सव्य तें कवण अपसव्य ।
तुका ह्मणे जीत पिंड तुह्मां हातीं। देऊनि नििंश्चती मानियेली ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I have settled my mind with certainty, seeing that You are the source of all. No one else's help is needed for anything; You are the One in all places. Can water wash water? What sin is removed there? All notions of sin and merit, every desire, I have surrendered to You entirely. You Yourself are the ancestor-spirit, O Janardana; what is auspicious and what inauspicious before You? Says Tuka, I have placed the living offering into Your hands and accepted the peace that follows.
