Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
॥
मराठी मूळ
 जगीं कीतिऩ व्हावी । ह्मणोनी जालासी गोसावी॥1॥
 बहुत केलें पाठांतर । वर्म राहिलेंसे दूर ॥ध्रु.॥
 चित्तीं नाहीं अनुताप। लटिकें भगवें स्वरूप ॥2॥

English Translation
You became a renunciant so that you might gain fame in the world. You have memorized much, but the essence remains far away. There is no remorse in your heart; your saffron robes are a lie.
