Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
जगीं ऐसा बाप व्हावा । ज्याचा वंश मुक्तीस जावा॥1॥
पोटा येतां हरलें पापा । Yाानदेवा मायबापा ॥ध्रु.॥
मुळीं बाप होता Yाानी । तरी आह्मी लागलों ध्यानीं ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे मी पोटींचें बाळ । माझी पुरवा ब्रह्मींची आळ ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Blessed is the father whose lineage attains liberation. O Dnyanadeva, O dear parent, when you came into the womb, sin itself was destroyed. Your father was a man of wisdom, and therefore we too were drawn into contemplation. Says Tuka, I am the child of that very womb; fulfill my longing for union with the Absolute.
