Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
लावूनियां पुष्टी पोरें । आणि करकर कथेमाजी ॥1॥
पडा पायां करा विनंती । दवडा हातीं धरोनियां ॥ध्रु.॥
कुर्वाळूनि बैसे मोहें । प्रेम कां हे नासीतसे ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे वाटे चित्त । करा फजित ह्मणऊनि ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Bring the children, seat them, and if they make noise during the story, fall at their feet, entreat them, and lead them gently away by the hand. A parent who fondles the child with affection should not destroy the atmosphere of love. Says Tuka, my heart wants to cause a scene, for it feels disgraced.
