राम
गाथा 604The Power of the Name

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha

मराठी मूळ

दोष पळती कीर्तनें । तुझ्या नामें संकीर्तनें ॥1॥

हें कां करूं आदरिलें । खोटें वचन आपुलें ॥ध्रु.॥

तुह्मी पापा भीतां । आह्मां उपजावया चिंता ॥2॥

तुका ह्मणे सेवा । किळकाळा जिंकी देवा ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

Sins flee from the power of kirtan, from your name sung in congregational praise. Why then would you make your own promise turn false? You fear sin, only to sow anxiety in us. Says Tuka, devotion to God conquers even Death.
