Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
घालुनियां भार राहिलों निश्चितीं । निरविलें संतीं विठोबासि ॥१॥
लावूनियां हातें कुरवाळिला माथा । सांगितलें चिंता न करावी ॥ध्रु.॥
कटीं कर सम चरण साजिरे । राहिला भीवरें तीरीं उभा ॥२॥
खुंटले सायास अणिकि या जीवा । धरिले केशवा पाय तुझे ॥३॥
तुज वाटे आतां तें करीं अनंता । तुका म्हणे संता लाज माझी ॥४॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Having placed the entire burden upon him, I rest in certainty. The saints commended me to Vitthoba, stroking my head with their hands, and told me not to worry. With hands on hips and beautiful even feet, he stands on the bank of the Bhima. All other efforts have ceased for this soul, for I have grasped your feet, O Keshava. Says Tuka, do with me now as you please, O Ananta; the saints hold my honor in trust.
