Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
केल्यापुरती आळी । कांहीं होते टाळाटाळी ॥1॥
सत्यसंकल्पाचें फळ । होतां न दिसे चि बळ ॥ध्रु.॥
दळणांच्या ओव्या । रित्या खरें मापें घ्याव्या ॥2॥
जातीं उखळें चाटूं । तुका ह्मणे राज्य घाटूं ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The excuses served their purpose for a while; there was some delay and avoidance. But when the fruit of a true resolution is ready, no force can hold it back. The grinding songs of women at the mill are empty; the true measure must be taken honestly. Says Tuka, even while licking the mortar, we scheme for a kingdom.
