Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
साच माझा देव्हारा । भाक ठेवा भाव खरा । त्रिगुणाचा फुलवरा । आणा विनति सांगतों ॥१॥
माझें दैवत हें रंगीं । नाचे वैष्णवांच्या संगीं । भरलें मग अंगीं । निवाड करी दोहींचा ॥ध्रु.॥
तुझें आहे तुजपासीं । परि तूं जागा चुकलासी । चिवडुनियां नासी । तुझ्या घरिच्यांनीं केली ॥२॥
आतां न पडे ठावें । वांचूनियां माझ्या देवें । अंधकार व्हावें । नासु ठाव शोधावा ॥३॥
आंधळ्यासी डोळे । देते पांगुळासी पाय । वांजा पुत्र फळे । नवस पुरविते विठाई ॥४॥
उगविलीं कोडीं । मागें कितेकांचीं बापुडीं । तुका म्हणे घडी । न लगे नवस द्या आधीं ॥५॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
My shrine is true; place your trust there with honest devotion. Bring a garland of the three qualities and I will tell you what I know. My deity dances in the company of the devoted and, once possessed, settles all disputes. What belongs to you is right beside you, but you have lost your way; your own household has plundered and ruined it. Without my God the darkness cannot be cleared; one must search the ground. She gives eyes to the blind and feet to the lame; she grants a son to the barren. Says Tuka, she has solved the riddles of so many wretched souls; do not delay, make your vow at once.
