The verse

Literal translation

What it means

A bhakta-as-pampered-child-Viṭṭhalē-mother abhang. Continues the Viṭṭhalē-māye register from 0514 / 0525. Five claims:

1. पढियंतें आम्ही तुजपाशीं मागावें — जीवींचें सांगावें हितगुज — practiced — beg from You — speak heart's hita-guja. The opening-claim: we have practiced (paḍhīmta) begging from You; speak the heart's hita-guja (good-secret, secret-of-the-heart's-good). Practice-and-disclose.

2. पाळसील लळे दीन वो वत्सले — विठ्ठले कृपाळे जननिये — indulge laḷē — dīna-vatsaḷē — Viṭṭhalē kṛpāḷē jananī. The mother-indulgence-claim: You will pāḷasīla (indulge, accommodate) the laḷē (childish-tantrums, fond-petulances); dīna-vatsaḷē (loving-the-lowly), Viṭṭhalē kṛpāḷē jananī (compassionate-mother-Viṭṭhal). Mother-indulges-tantrums*.

3. जीव भाव तुझ्या ठेवियेला पायीं — तूं चि सर्वा ठायीं एक आम्हां — jīva-bhāva placed at Your feet — You alone everywhere — one for us. The exclusive-placement-claim: jīva-bhāva (life-stance) — placed at Your feet; You alone everywhere — one for us. Exclusive-foundation*.

4. दुजियाचा संग लागों नेदीं वारा — नाहीं जात घरा आणिकांच्या — dujīyā-samga vāra — don't let touch — won't go to others' ghara. The exclusivity-claim: don't let the vāra (wind, breeze) of dujīyā-samga (other-companionship) touch us; we don't go to others' ghara. No-other-home.

5. सर्वसत्ता एकी आहे तुजपाशीं — ठावें आहे देसी मागेन तें — म्हणउनि पुढें मांडियेली आळी — थिंकोनियां चोळी डोळे तुका — sarva-sattā one with You — known — You give what I beg — placing āḷī — sniffles rubs eyes Tuka. The closing-tantrum-image: sarva-sattā (all-power) — one — with You; known: You give what I beg; therefore I have māmḍiyēlī (set-up) the āḷī (childish-tantrum); Tuka thimkōnīyām (sniffling) cōḷī (rubs) the eyes. Bhakta-as-tantrumming-child-sniffling-and-rubbing-eyes*.

For someone today

This abhang names the bhakta-pampered-child-Viṭṭhalē-mother register:

1. Practice begging; speak the hita-guja*. Paḍhīmta — māgāvē — hita-guja sāngāvē. Bhakti is practiced-begging and disclosing-the-heart's-good. Don't-be-shy-with-the-mother*.

2. Mother indulges laḷē*. Pāḷasīla laḷē — Viṭṭhalē jananī. The mother-deva indulges childish-tantrums. Don't-fear-being-childish*.

3. Exclusive-foundation; no other home. Tūm-ca sarvā ṭhāyīm — dujīyācā samga nakō. No-other-relationship; no-other-house-to-visit. Exclusivity-is-the-rule.

4. Sarva-sattā with You — You give what I beg. Sarva-sattā tujapāśīm — dēsi mhaṇāra. All-power is with You; You give what I beg; this is known. Don't-doubt-the-source*.

5. Set up the āḷī*; sniffle, rub eyes. Māmḍiyēlī āḷī — thimkōnīyām cōḷī ḍōḷē. The childish-tantrum-image: sniffling, rubbing eyes — for the mother to indulge. Be-the-tantrumming-child*.

For today: practice begging; speak the heart's hita-guja; Viṭṭhalē-mother indulges laḷē; no other home; all-power is with Her; She gives what I beg; set up the āḷī, sniffle and rub eyes.

This abhang is Tukaram's Viṭṭhalē-jananī-laḷē register — bhakta as pampered-child. Compare 0514 Viṭhā-bāī, 0525 Viṭṭhalē māye; same maternal-Viṭṭhal recoding. The thimkōnīyām-cōḷī-ḍōḷē image is rare: it captures the actual-physicality of a child-tantrum.
