Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
पडिला हृषीकेशी । जाब सकळ करणें ॥1॥
माझें नेलें पांघरुण । ठावें असोन दुर्बळ दीन ।
माणसांमधून । उठविलें खाणोया ॥ध्रु.॥
आह्मीं हें जगऊनि होतों पाणी । संदीं देवदेव करूनि ।
जालासी कोठोनि । पैदा चोरा देहाच्या ॥2॥
तुकयाबंधु ह्मणे केलें। उघडें मजचि उमगिलें ।
ऐसें काय गेलें । होतें तुज न पुरतें॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Hrishikesha must now answer for everything. You snatched my blanket, knowing full well I am poor and helpless. You pulled me out of human society and stripped me bare. I had been quietly nurturing my life, worshipping You privately on the side. From where did You emerge, O thief of the body? Says Tukya-bandhu, You have laid me open. What was it that You lacked so terribly?
