Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
अक्षरांचा श्रम केला । फळा आला तेणें तो ॥1॥
अवघियाचा तळ धरी । जीवा उरी नुरउनी ॥ध्रु.॥
फळलें तें लवे भारें । पीक खरें आलें तइप ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे देवा । पुढें भाव सारावा ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The labor of learning has borne fruit. He grasps the depths of everything, holding nothing back in reserve. When the harvest bends low under its own weight, that is when you know the true crop has come in. Says Tuka, O God, carry forward the devotion that lies ahead.
