Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
पिंडदान पिंडें ठेविलें करून । तिळीं तिळवण मूळत्रयीं॥1॥
सारिले संकल्प एका चि वचनें । ब्रह्मीं ब्रह्मार्पण सेवटींच्या ॥ध्रु.॥
सव्य अपसव्य बुडालें हें कर्म । एका एक वर्म एकोविष्णु ॥2॥
पित्यापुत्रत्वाचें जालें अवसान । जनीं जनादऩन अभेदेंसी ॥3॥
आहे तैसी पूजा पावली सकळ । सहज तो काळ साधियेला ॥4॥
तुका ह्मणे केला अवघियांचा उद्धार । आतां नमस्कार सेवटींचा ॥5॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The ritual offering of the body-ball has been made; sesame and water have been offered at the three root centers. All resolves have been settled by a single utterance: 'All is offered to Brahman' at the very end. The rites of the right hand and the left hand have been submerged; the one secret is: all is Vishnu. The relationship of father and son has reached its conclusion; in all beings, Janardana is realized without distinction. Whatever worship existed has been accepted in full; the opportune moment has been naturally seized. Says Tuka, the deliverance of all has been accomplished. Now this is my final bow.
