Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
 पतिव्रता ऐसी जगामध्यें मात । भोगी पांच सात अंधारीं ते ॥1॥
 भ्रतारासी लेखी श्वानाचे समान । परपुरुषीं जाण संभ्रम तो ॥2॥
 तुका ह्मणे तिच्या दोषा नाहीं पार । भोगील अघोर कुंभपाक ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
She is praised in the world as a faithful wife, yet in the dark she consorts with five or seven others. She treats her husband like a dog and dotes upon other men. Says Tuka, there is no end to her sin. She will suffer the most terrible torments of hell.
