Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
आपण चि व्हाल साहे । कसियाला हे धांवणी॥1॥
भाकिली ते उरली कींव । आहे जीव जीवपणें ॥ध्रु.॥
आहाच कैंचा बीजा मोड । प्रीति कोड वांचूनि ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे दंडिन काया । याल तया धांवणिया ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Will You Yourself become the touchstone? Why this running about for a test? The mercy I have pleaded for still remains. Life persists in its nature of being alive. From where can the seed sprout without the nurture of love and longing? Says Tuka, I shall punish this body. Come then to rescue it.
