Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
अनुभव ऐसा । मज लागला सरिसा ॥1॥
पाठी बैसली सेजारीं । नव्हे शांत कोणे परी ॥ध्रु.॥
कोठें न लगे जावें । कांहीं घालावया ठावें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे कोटि । दुःखाच्या च तये पोटीं ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Such is my experience, which has attached itself to me relentlessly. Suffering sits beside me like a companion and will not be quieted by any means. There is no need to go anywhere or to find a place to put it down. Says Tuka, in the very womb of that suffering lie ten million more.
