Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
डौरलों भिHसुखें । सेवूं अमृत हें मुखें ॥1॥
संतसंगें सारूं काळ । प्रेमसुखाचा कल्लोळ ॥ध्रु.॥
ब्रह्मादिकांसी सुराणी । तो हा आनंद मेदिनी ॥2॥
नाहीं वैकुंठींचा पांग । धांवे कथे पांडुरंग ॥3॥
मुH व्हावें काशासाठीं । कैची येणें रसें भेटी॥4॥
तुका ह्मणे गोड । हें चि पुरे माझें कोड ॥5॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I am drunk with the joy of devotion; let me drink this nectar with my own lips. I shall spend my days in the company of saints, in a flood of blissful love. This joy that fills the earth is envied even by Brahma and the other gods. Vaikuntha makes no claims; Panduranga Himself runs to attend the kirtan. Why seek liberation at all? What meeting could match the sweetness of this devotion? Says Tuka, this sweetness is enough; this alone fulfills all my desires.
