Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
माझा स्वामी तुझी वागवितो लात । तेथें मी पतित काय आलों ॥1॥
तीथॉ तुमच्या चरणीं जाहालीं निर्मळ । तेथें मी दुर्बळ काय वाणूं ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे तुह्मी देवा द्विजवंद्य । मी तों काय निंद्य हीन याति ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
My master treads upon your feet with His stride; what place have I, a lowly sinner, in all of this? All the sacred waters have become pure through contact with your feet; how can I, so wretched, presume to speak? Says Tuka, you who are revered by God and by the twice-born, what am I, of a despised caste, to say anything?
