Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
॥
मराठी मूळ
वाखर घेउनि आलें । त्यासी तरवारेणें हालें ॥1॥
नव्हे आपुलें उचित । करुनि टाकावें फजित ॥ध्रु.॥
अंगुिळया मोडी। त्यासी काय सिलें घोडीं ॥2॥
नपुंसकासाठीं । तुका ह्मणे न लगे जेठी ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
One who comes with a plough should not be met with a sword. It is not fitting to humiliate someone and cast them aside. Why crack your knuckles at one who comes unarmed? Says Tuka, for an impotent man, no great display is needed.
