Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
आजिवरी तुम्हां आम्हां नेणपण । कौतुकें खेळणें संग होता ॥१॥
आतां अनावर जालें अगुणाची । करूं नये तें चि करीं सुखें ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे आतां बुडविलीं दोन्ही । कुळें एक मनीं नारायण ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Until now we shared the innocence of childhood, playing together in idle sport. But now something beyond all virtue has taken hold, and I happily do what should not be done. Says Tuka, I have drowned both families in one stroke; Narayana alone fills my mind.
