Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
शुद्धबीजा पोटीं । फळें रसाळ गोमटीं ॥१॥
मुखीं अमृताची वाणी । देह वेचावा कारणीं ॥ध्रु.॥
सर्वांगीं निर्मळ । चित्त जैसें गंगाजळ ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे जाती । ताप दर्शनें विश्रांती ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
From a pure seed come fruits that are lush and sweet. Let the tongue speak nectar-like words, and let the body be spent in worthy cause. Let the whole being be clean, the mind clear as the water of the Ganga. Says Tuka, sufferings melt away in their presence, and their very sight brings rest.
