Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
मागायाची नाहीं इच्छा । जो मी ऐसा संकोचों ॥1॥
लटिकियाची न करूं स्तुति । इच्छा चित्तीं धरूनि ॥ध्रु.॥
हिशोबें तें आलें घ्यावें । हें तों ठावें सकळांसी ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे स्वामिसेवा । येथें देवा काशाची ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I have no desire to beg. I restrain myself. I will not offer false praise while harboring selfish wishes. What comes by honest account, one should accept. This much everyone knows. Says Tuka, when it is the Lord's own service, what payment is owed, O God?
