Says Tuka, Dilip Chitre's translation of selected poetry by the Bhakti poet Tukaram, Penguin, 1991, is a scholarly translation. Its strength is that Chitre, himself a major Marathi poet, produced translations widely regarded as capturing Tukaram's own directness and force in English. Its limit is the ordinary one for any poetic translation: it is one translator's literary judgment about how to render Tukaram's meaning and voice, and readers working closely with the text should compare it against the Marathi original or another translation.
