Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
सिद्धीचा दास नव्हें श्रुतीचा अंकिला । होइऩन विठ्ठला सर्व तुझा ॥1॥
सर्वकाळ सुख आमच्या मानसीं । राहिलें जयासी नास नाहीं ॥ध्रु.॥
नेणें पुण्य पाप न पाहें लोचनीं । आणिका वांचूनि पांडुरंगा ॥2॥
न करीं आस मुHीचे सायास । भिHप्रेमरस सांडूनियां ॥3॥
गर्भवासीं धाक नाहीं येतां जातां । हृदयीं राहतां नाम तुझें ॥4॥
तुका ह्मणे जालों तुझा चि अंकिला । न भें मी विठ्ठला किळकाळासी ॥5॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I am not a slave to supernatural powers, nor am I bound by scripture alone. I will become entirely Yours, O Vitthal. In our minds dwells a joy that remains at all times, one that knows no destruction. I know neither merit nor sin, nor do I look upon anything other than You, O Panduranga. I will not strive for liberation and forsake the nectar of loving devotion. Even in the womb I feel no dread, for Your name abides in my heart. Says Tuka, I have become wholly Yours, O Vitthal; I fear not even time and death.
