Sants-came-home, I'm-unfortunate-host.

Tukārām's sants-came-home — what-pūjā? humility-text

The verse

संत आले घरा । तों मी अभागी दातारा ॥१॥ कासयानें पूजा करूं । चरण हृदयीं च धरूं ॥ध्रु.॥ काया कुरवंडी । करुन ओंवाळून सांडी ॥२॥ तुका म्हणे भावें । हात जोडीं असो ठावें ॥३॥

Literal translation

Sants-came-home, I'm-unfortunate-host. With-what-pūjā? hold-feet-in-hrdaya. Kāyā-kuravaṇḍī, doing-ōmvāḷaṇa, casting-aside. Tukā: with-bhāva, hands-folded, let-it-be-known.

What it means

A 3-verse humility-text on receiving-sants-at-home. Body-itself-as-the-sacrifice-and-ārati.

For someone today

Tukārām: when-sants-arrive, the-only-pūjā-possible is-the-body-itself-as-ārati.
