Abhanga 632

English: Dharmādharma ucita — consider hita — known patita — śaraṇāgata.

When rāya-ranka are one in the deva's house — and you have to recognize this register
When the bhakta abandoned laukika-vēvhāra — and you accept this disengagement
When saints told to give-end-place — and you receive this final-petition

The verse

आतां धर्माधर्मी कांहीं उचित । माझें विचारावें हित । तुज मी ठाउका पतित । शरणागत परि जालों ॥१॥ येथें राया रंका एकी सरी । नाहीं भिन्नाभिन्न तुमच्या घरीं । पावलों पाय भलत्या परी । मग बाहेरी न घालावें ॥ध्रु.॥ ऐसें हें चालत आलें मागें । नाहीं मी बोलत वाउगें । आपुलिया पडिल्या प्रसंगें । कीर्ति हे जगे वाणिजेते ॥२॥ घालोनियां माथां बैसलों भार । सांडिला लौकिक वेव्हार । आधीं हे विचारिली थार । अविनाश पर पद ऐसें ॥३॥ येथें एक वर्म पाहिजे धीर । परि म्यां लेखिलें असार । देह हें नाशिवंत जाणार । धरिलें सार नाम तुझें ॥४॥ केली आराणुक सकळां हातीं । धरावें धरिलें तें चित्ति । तुका म्हणें सांगितलें संतीं । देई अंतीं ठाव मज देवा ॥५॥

  3. ऐसें हें चालत आलें मागें — not-vain-speech: from-before came; not bōlat-vāūgē; own falling-prasanga; kīrti in jaga. Tradition-warrants-this.
