Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
सांवळें सुंदर पाहे दृिष्टभरि । ऐसें कांहीं करीं मन माझें ॥1॥
मना तुज ठाव दिला त्याचे पायीं । राहें विठाबाइऩसवें सदा ॥ध्रु.॥
मना नको धरूं आणिकांचा संग । नाहीं पांडुरंग जयां मनीं ॥2॥
वरपंग भाव नको ह्मणे तुका । करीं प्राणसखा नारायणा॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
O my mind, gaze upon that beautiful dark form until your eyes are filled. I have given you a place at His feet; stay always with Vitthabai. O mind, do not keep the company of those who do not hold Panduranga in their hearts. Says Tuka, do not settle for shallow devotion; make Narayana the beloved friend of your very life.
