Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
कासया गुणदोष पाहों आणिकांचे । मज काय त्यांचें उणें असे ॥1॥
काय पापपुण्य पाहों आणिकांचें । मज काय त्यांचें उणें असें ॥ध्रु.॥
नष्टदुष्टपण कवणाचें वाणू । तयाहून आनु अधिक माझें ॥2॥
कुचर खोटा मज कोण असे आगळा । तो मी पाहों डोळां आपुलिये ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Why should I examine the faults and merits of others? What do I lack because of them? Why should I scrutinize the sins and virtues of others? What do I lose by theirs? If I were to speak of anyone's wickedness, my own faults are far greater. Who is a worse cheat and fraud than I? Let me look at myself with my own eyes.
