Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
खेळतों ते खेळ पायांच्या प्रसादें । नव्हती हीं छंदें नासिवंतें ॥1॥
माझा मायबाप उभा विटेवरी । कवतुकें करी कृपादान॥ध्रु.॥
प्रसादाची वाणी वदें ती उत्तरें । नाहीं मतांतरें जोडियेलीं ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे रस वाढितिया अंगें । छाया पांडुरंगें केली वरी ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The sport I play is by the grace of Your feet; these joys are not fleeting or perishable. My mother and father stands upon the brick, bestowing the gift of grace with delight. The words I speak are offered as Your blessing; they are not composed from any partisan school. Says Tuka, the flavor of devotion grows ever richer, for Panduranga has spread His sheltering shade above me.
