Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
जालों द्वारपाळ । तुझें राखिलें सकळ ॥1॥
नाहीं लागों दिलें अंगा । आड ठाकलों मी जगा ॥ध्रु.॥
करूनियां नीती। दिल्याप्रमाणें चालती ॥2॥
हातीं दंड काठी । भा जिवाचिये साटीं॥3॥
बळ बुद्धी युHी । तुज दिल्या सर्व शHी ॥4॥
तुका ह्मणे खरा । आतां घेइऩन मुशारा ॥5॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I have become Your gatekeeper, guarding all that is Yours. I have stood as a shield between You and the world, not letting anything touch You. I have established order, and all follow the given rule. In my hand I hold the staff and rod, staking my very life on this duty. All my strength, intellect, and skill, all my powers, I have given to You. Says Tuka, now I will collect my wages in full.
