Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
ठेवूनियां डोइऩ । पायीं जालों उतराइऩ ॥1॥
कारण तें तुह्मीं जाणां । मी तराळ नारायणा ॥ध्रु.॥
प्रसंगीं वचन । दिलें तें चि खावें अन्न ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे भार । तुह्मी जाणां थोडा फार ॥3॥
उपदेश अभंग ॥ 11 ॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Having placed my head at Your feet, I have discharged my obligation. You know the reason, O Narayana; I am but a gatekeeper. Whatever food was given at the occasion, that is what should be eaten. Says Tuka, You know whether the burden is great or small.
