नाना सुकृताचें फळ । तो हा नरदेह केवळ । त्याहिमधें भाग्य सफळ । तरीच सन्मार्ग लागे

nānā sukṛtācem phaḷa | to hā naradeha kevaḷa | tyāhimadhem bhāgya saphaḷa | tarīca sanmārga lāge

The fruit of many good works is precisely this human body. Yet only when fortune is truly fruitful does one step onto the good path (sanmārga).

नरदेहीं विशेष ब्राह्मण । त्याहीवरी संध्यास्नान । सद्वासना भगवद्भजन । घडे पूर्वपुण्यें

naradehīm viśeṣa brāhmaṇa | tyāhīvarī samdhyāsnāna | sadvāsanā bhagavadbhajana | ghaḍe pūrvapuṇyem

Within the human body, the brāhmaṇa is special; above that, sandhyā-snāna (ritual bath and meditation); good inclination (sad-vāsanā), Bhagavat-bhajana — these come by previous merit (pūrva-puṇya).

भगवद्भक्ति हे उत्तम । त्याहिवरी सत्समागम । काळ सार्थक हाचि परम । लाभ, जाणावा

bhagavadbhakti he uttama | tyāhivarī satsamāgama | kāḷa sārthaka hāci parama | lābha, jāṇāvā

Bhagavat-bhakti is supreme; above that, the company of the good (sat-samāgama); to fulfill one's time — know this as the supreme gain.

प्रेमप्रीतीचा सद्भाव । आणी भक्तांचा समुदाव । हरिकथा मोहोत्साव । तेणें प्रेमा दुणावे

premaprītīcā sadbhāva | āṇī bhaktāmcā samudāva | harikathā mohotsāva | teṇem premā duṇāve

True feeling of love and affection, gathering of devotees, Hari-kathā-festivals — by these, love (premā) is doubled.

नरदेहीं आलियां येक । कांही करावें सार्थक । जेणें पाविजे परलोक । परम दुल्लभ जो

naradehīm āliyām yeka | kāmhī karāvem sārthaka | jeṇem pāvije paraloka | parama dullabha jo

Having come to the human body, one must do something fulfilling (sārthaka) — that by which one attains the other world (para-loka), rare indeed.

विधियुक्त ब्रह्मकर्म । अथवा दया दान धर्म । अथवा करणें सुगम । भजन भगवंताचें

vidhiyukta brahmakarma | athavā dayā dāna dharma | athavā karaṇem sugama | bhajana bhagavamtācem

Perform Vedic duty lawfully (vidhi-yukta brahma-karma); or compassion, giving, dharma; or the easy path: the worship (bhajana) of the Lord.

anutāpem karāvā tyāga | athavā karaṇem bhaktiyoga | nāhīm tarī dharaṇem samga | sādhujanācā

With repentance (anutāpa) perform renunciation (tyāga); or undertake the path of devotion (bhakti-yoga); if not, hold on to the company of sādhus.

nānā śāstrem dhāmḍoḷāvīm | athavā tīrthe tarī karāvīm | athavā puraścaraṇem baravīm | pāpakṣayākāraṇem

Delve into many śāstras; or go on pilgrimages (tīrtha); or excellent mantra-repetitions (puraścaraṇa) — for the removal of sin (pāpa-kṣaya).

अथवा कीजे परोपकार । अथवा ज्ञानाचा विचार । निरूपणीं सारासार । विवेक करणें

athavā kīje paropakāra | athavā jñānācā vicāra | nirūpaṇīm sārāsāra | viveka karaṇem

Or do paropakāra; or the reflection on knowledge (jñāna-vicāra); in exposition (nirūpaṇa), practise the discernment of essence-vs-non-essence (sārāsāra-viveka).

पाळावी वेदांची आज्ञा । कर्मकांड उपासना । जेणें होइजे ज्ञाना- । आधिकारपात्र

pāḷāvī vedāmcī ājñā | karmakāmḍa upāsanā | jeṇem hoije jñānā- | ādhikārapātra

Observe the Vedic injunctions; [perform] ritual (karma-kāṇḍa) and worship (upāsanā); by which one becomes fit to receive knowledge (jñāna-adhikārī).

काया वाचा आणी मनें । पत्रें पुष्पें फळें जीवनें । कांहीं तरी येका भजनें । सार्थक करावें

kāyā vācā āṇī manem | patrem puṣpem phaḷem jīvanem | kāmhīm tarī yekā bhajanem | sārthaka karāvem

janmā āliyācem phaḷa | kāmhīm karāvem saphaḷa | aisem na karitām nirphaḷa | bhūmibhāra hoye

The fruit of being born — make something of it fruitful; without doing so, [one] is a fruitless burden on the earth.

नरदेहाचे उचित । कांहीं करावें आत्महित । येथानुशक्‌त्या चित्तवित्त । सर्वोत्तमीं लावावें

naradehāce ucita | kāmhīm karāvem ātmahita | yethānuśaktyā cittavitta | sarvottamīm lāvāvem

The fitting thing for the human body: do some good for the Self (ātma-hita); according to capacity, apply mind and wealth to the supreme (sarvottama).

हें कांहींच न धरी जो मनीं । तो मृत्यप्राय वर्ते जनीं । जन्मा येऊन तेणें जननी । वायांच कष्टविली

hem kāmhīmca na dharī jo manīm | to mṛtyaprāya varte janīm | janmā yeūna teṇem jananī | vāyāmca kaṣṭavilī

suci nāhīm svadharma nāhīm | ācāra nāhīm vicāra nāhīm | āratra nāhīm paratra nāhīm | mukta kriyā manācī

aise prakārīce pāhātām jana | te jītaci pretāsamāna | tyāmsīm na karāvem bhāṣaṇa | pavitra janīm

Such persons when looked at are living corpses (jīta-preta); one should not even speak with them among pure people.
