Abhanga 630

English: Deva — kṛpāḷa — bhakti-pratipāḷa dīna-vatsaḷa — māy māulī snēhāḷa — carry bhāra sakaḷa.

When the deva is mother-māulī carrying all bhāra — and you have to recognize this register

When iha-loka and para-loka both Vaikuṇṭha — and you accept this collapse

When Your nāma is the ornament put on me — and you receive this image

The verse

देवा तूं आमचा कृपाळ । भक्तिप्रतिपाळ दीनवत्सळ । माय तूं माउली स्नेहाळ । भार सकळ चालविसी ॥१॥ तुज लागली सकळ चिंता । राखणें लागे वांकडें जातां । पुडती निरविसी संतां । नव्हे विसंबतां धीर तुज ॥२॥ आम्हां भय चिंता नाहीं धाक । जन्म मरण कांहीं एक । जाला इहलोकीं परलोक । आलें सकळैकवैकुंठ ॥३॥ न कळे दिवस कीं राती । अखंड लागलीसे ज्योती । आनंदलहरीची गती । वर्णू कीर्ती तया सुखा ॥४॥ तुझिया नामाचीं भूषणें । तों यें मज लेवविलीं लेणें । तुका म्हणे तुझियान गुणें । काय तें उणें एक आम्हां ॥५॥

No bhaya-cintā-dhāka — janma-maraṇa nothing — iha-para both Vaikuṇṭha. No divasa-rāti — akhaṇḍa jyōti lit — ānanda-lahari gati — kīrti to sukha. Your nāma bhūṣaṇa — put on me as lēṇē. Tuka says: by Your guṇa — what uṇē?

What it means

A deva-as-mother-bhāra-sakaḷa-iha-para-Vaikuṇṭha abhang. Five-verse fulfillment-with-mother-image register. Five claims:

देवा तूं आमचा कृपाळ — opening-mother: deva — kṛpāḷa — bhakti-pratipāḷa-dīna-vatsaḷa — māy-māulī-snēhāḷa — carry bhāra-sakaḷa. Mother-carries-all-bhāra.
तुज लागली सकळ चिंता — all-cintā-on-You: all cintā on You; guarding crooked-paths; entrust to saints; visambatā don't endure. Mother-watches-and-doesn't-leave.
आम्हां भय चिंता नाहीं धाक — no-fear-iha-para-Vaikuṇṭha: no bhaya-cintā-dhāka; janma-maraṇa nothing; iha-para both Vaikuṇṭha; sakaḷaika came. This-and-other-world-both-Vaikuṇṭha.
न कळे दिवस कीं राती — akhaṇḍa-jyōti: no day-or-night; akhaṇḍa jyōti lit; ānanda-lahari gati; kīrti to sukha. Continuous-light-ānanda.
तुझिया नामाचीं भूषणें — closing-nāma-as-ornament: Your nāma bhūṣaṇa; put on me as lēṇē; Tuka says: by Your guṇa — what uṇē? Nāma-as-ornament-no-deficiency.

For someone today

This abhang names the deva-as-mother-iha-para-Vaikuṇṭha register:

Deva is mother-māulī carrying all bhāra. Mother-bhāra. Mother-image.
All cintā on You; visambatā You don't endure. Cintā-on-You. Mother-doesn't-leave.
No fear; janma-maraṇa nothing; iha-para Vaikuṇṭha. Iha-para Vaikuṇṭha. Both-worlds-collapse.
Akhaṇḍa-jyōti; ānanda-lahari. Continuous-light.
Your nāma is the ornament on me; nothing lacking. Nāma-ornament. Final-image.

For today: the deva is mother-māulī carrying all bhāra; all cintā on Him; visambatā He doesn't endure; no fear, janma-maraṇa nothing, iha-para both Vaikuṇṭha; Your nāma is the ornament — nothing lacking.

This abhang is Tukaram's deva-as-mother-fulfillment register. Compare 0614 Viṭṭhal-Rakhumāī-māhiyara; same mother-register but here with the iha-para-Vaikuṇṭha and nāma-as-ornament additions.

मराठी: ही ओवी deva-as-mother-iha-para-Vaikuṇṭha register नाव सांगते:

Deva mother-māulī, सर्व bhāra* carry. Mother-bhāra. Mother-image*.
All cintā You वर; visambatā* You endure नाही. Cintā-on-You. Mother-leave-नाही*.
No fear; janma-maraṇa nothing; iha-para Vaikuṇṭha*. Iha-para Vaikuṇṭha. Both-worlds-collapse*.
Akhaṇḍa-jyōti; ānanda-lahari. Continuous-light*.
Your nāma ornament माझ्यावर; काही uṇē* नाही. Nāma-ornament. Final-image*.

आज: Deva mother-māulī, सर्व bhāra carry करतो; सर्व cintā त्याच्यावर; visambatā तो endure करत नाही; No fear, janma-maraṇa nothing, iha-para both Vaikuṇṭha; Your nāma ornament — काही uṇē नाही.

Tukaram च-deva-as-mother-fulfillment-register. 0614 Viṭṭhal-Rakhumāī-māhiyara compare; तीच mother-register पण इथे iha-para-Vaikuṇṭha आणि nāma-as-ornament additions.

Where this applies

Māy māulī snēhāḷa. Mother-image.
All cintā on You. Mother-carries.
Iha-para both Vaikuṇṭha. Both-worlds.
Nāma — ornament. Nothing-lacking.
