Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
पडिलों भोवणीं । होतों बहु चिंतवणी ॥1॥
होतों चुकलों मारग । लाहो केला लाग वेगें ॥ध्रु.॥
इंिद्रयांचे संदी । होतों सांपडलों बंदीं ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे बरें जालें । विठ्ठलसें वाचे आलें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I had been spinning in circles, lost in too much thinking. I had gone astray, lost the path. But now, quickly, I have seized the gain. I had been trapped in the grip of the senses, caught in their prison. Says Tuka, it is well that the Name of Vitthal has come to my tongue.
