Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
क्षुधेलिया अन्न । द्यावें पात्र न विचारून ॥1॥
धर्म आहे वर्मा अंगीं । कळलें पाहिजे प्रसंगीं ॥ध्रु.॥
द्रव्य आणि कन्या। येथें कुळ कर्म शोधण्या ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे पुण्य गांठी । तरि च उचितासी भेटी ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
To the hungry, give food without examining the vessel. The essence of dharma lies within; it must be shown in the right occasion. For matters of wealth and marriage, one should examine lineage and conduct. Says Tuka, only if merit is in hand does one meet with what is fitting.
