Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
धनवंता घरीं । करी धन चि चाकरी ॥1॥
होय बैसल्या व्यापार । न लगे सांडावें चि घर ॥ध्रु.॥
रानीं वनीं दीपीं । असतीं तीं होतीं सोपीं ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे मोल । देतां कांहीं नव्हे खोल ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
In the home of the wealthy, wealth itself serves as the servant. All trade happens while sitting at ease; one need not even leave the house. What is found in forests, islands, and remote places all becomes easily accessible. Says Tuka, when you offer the right price, nothing remains beyond reach.
