Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
तुज घालोनियां पूजितों संपुष्टीं । परि तुझ्या पोटीं चवदा भुवनें ॥1॥
तुज नाचऊनि दाखवूं कौतुका । परी रूपरेखा नाहीं तुज ॥ध्रु.॥
तुजलागीं आह्मी गात असों गीत । परी तूं अतीत शब्दाहूनि ॥2॥
तुजलागीं आह्मीं घातियेल्या माळा । परि तूं वेगळा कतृऩत्वासी ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे आतां होऊनि परमित । माझें कांहीं हित विचारावें ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I seat You in a shrine and worship You with offerings, yet fourteen worlds are contained within Your belly. I make You dance as a spectacle, yet You have neither form nor outline. I sing songs for You, yet You transcend all words. I garland You with flowers, yet You stand apart from all doership. Says Tuka, now please be gracious, and consider what is truly good for me.
