Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
सांखिळलों प्रीती गळां । भुंके वेळा जाणोनियां॥1॥
तुमचें मी केशीराजा । सुनें या काजा पािळलों ॥ध्रु.॥
आलें गेलें कळे वाटा । कोण निटा वाकडिया ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे आलें वारी । दुरितें दुरी नातळतां ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I am chained with love around my neck, and I bark at the proper hours. I am Your watchdog, O Lord Keshi, kept for this very purpose. I can tell who comes and goes, who walks the straight path and who the crooked. Says Tuka, I have kept sins at a distance, not letting them come near.
