Abhanga 635

English: Garjavūm vaikharī — Keśava-Mukunda-Murārī — Rāma-Kṛṣṇa names — Hari Hari — dōṣa destroy.

When the bhakta roars many names of the deva — and you have to recognize this register

When the deva is akartā and doesn't let abhimāna touch — and you accept this paradox

When won't separate the jīva from the feet — and you receive this final-stance

The verse

ऐसी हे गर्जवूं वैखरी । केशव मुकुंद मुरारी । राम कृष्ण नामें बरीं । हरी हरी दोष सकळ ॥१॥ जनार्दना जगजीवना । विराटस्वरूपा वामना । महदादि मधुसूदना । भवबंधना तोडितिया ॥ध्रु.॥ चक्रपाणी गदाधरा । असुरमर्दना वीर्यवीरा । सकळमुगुटमणि शूरा । अहो दातारा जगदानिया ॥२॥ मदनमूर्ती मनमोहना । गोपाळगोपिकारमणा । नटनाट्यकौशल्य कान्हा । अहो संपन्ना सर्वगुणें ॥३॥ गुणवंता आणि निर्गुणा । सर्वसाक्षी आणि सर्वजाणा । करोनि अकर्ता आपणा । नेदी अभिमाना आतळों ॥४॥ कासयानें घडे याची सेवा । काय एक समर्पावें या देवा । वश्य तो नव्हे वांचुनि भावा । पाय जीवावेगळे न करी तुका ॥५॥

What it means

A roar-vaikharī-many-names-jīva-not-separate-feet abhang. Five-verse name-list-praise register. Five claims:

ऐसी हे गर्जवूं वैखरी — opening-roar-names: roar-vaikharī; Keśava-Mukunda-Murārī, Rāma-Kṛṣṇa, Hari-Hari — destroy dōṣa. Many-names-roared-destroy-dōṣa.
जनार्दना जगजीवना — names-and-cutter-of-bhava-bandhana: Janārdana-Jagajīvana, Virāṭ-svarūpa-Vāmana, Mahadādi-Madhusūdana — bhava-bandhana cutter. Cosmic-names-cut-samsāra.
चक्रपाणी गदाधरा — warrior-and-dātāra: Cakra-pāṇī gadā-dhara, asura-mardana vīrya-vīra, sakaḷa-mukuṭa-maṇi śūra, dātāra jagad-dānī. Warrior-king-image.
मदनमूर्ती मनमोहना — Kṛṣṇa-image: Madana-mūrti manamōhana, Gōpāḷa-gōpikā-ramaṇa, naṭa-nāṭya-kauśalya Kānhā, sampanna sarva-guṇa. Kṛṣṇa-as-Kānhā-with-Gōpīs.

For someone today

This abhang names the roar-many-names-akartā-jīva-not-separate register:

Roar vaikharī with many-names; dōṣa destroyed. Roar-names. Multiplicity-of-names.
Bhava-bandhana cutter. Bhava-cutter. Samsāra-cut.
Warrior, dātāra, jagad-dānī. Multiple-roles.
Guṇavanta-and-nirguṇa; akartā doesn't let abhimāna touch. Paradox. Beyond-action-no-pride.
Vaśya only by bhāva; won't separate jīva from feet. Bhāva-only. Final-stance.

For today: roar many-names of the deva; He is the bhava-bandhana cutter; He is warrior-dātāra; both guṇavanta and nirguṇa; vaśya only by bhāva; don't separate the jīva from His feet.

This abhang is Tukaram's roar-many-names-bhāva-only register. Compare 0597 nāma-is-sāra-of-sāra; same nāma-priority but here as roar-of-many-names.
