Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
आमुचे ठाउके तुह्मां गर्भवास । बिळवंत दोष केले भोग ॥1॥
काय हा सांगावा नसतां नवलावो । मैंदपणें भाव भुलवणेचा ॥ध्रु.॥
एका पळवूनि एका पाठी लावा । कवतुक देवा पाहावया ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे ज्याणें असें चेतविलें । त्याच्यानें उगळें कैसें नव्हे ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
You know our sufferings in the womb; our powerful sins have caused the experiences we endure. Why speak of this as though it were some marvel? With trickery You create bewilderment. You set one running and another chasing, just to watch the spectacle, O God. Says Tuka, the One who set all this in motion surely has the power to undo it.
