Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
बहुत असती मागें सुखी केलीं । अनाथा माउली जिवांची तूं ॥1॥
माझिया संकटा न धरीं अळस । लावुनियां कास पार पावीं ॥ध्रु.॥
कृपावंता करा ज्याचा अंगीकार । तया संवसार नाहीं पुन्हां ॥ ।2॥
विचारितां नाहीं दुजा बिळवंत । ऐसा सर्वगत व्यापी कोणी ॥3॥
ह्मणउनि दिला मुळीं जीवभाव । देह केला वाव समाधिस्थ ॥4॥
तुका ह्मणे नाहीं जाणत आणीक । तुजविण एक पांडुरंगा ॥5॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
You have comforted many before me, O mother of orphaned souls. Do not be slow in my time of distress. Gird Yourself and see me through to the other shore. O compassionate one, whoever You accept is freed from worldly life forever. Upon reflection, there is no other power as great. No one else pervades all things so completely. Therefore, I have surrendered my entire being from the very root. The body has been made empty, as if in deep samadhi. Says Tuka, I know no one else besides You, O Panduranga.
