Abhanga 641

English: Bhāva doesn't parata — jīva at-rest at feet — all lābha-place — vāva in citta-ṭhāya.

When the bhāva is firm and won't go back — and you have to recognize this register
When the bhāmḍavala is viśvāsa — and you accept this trust-claim
When the eye wore the form's-kaḷavaḷā — and you receive this final-image

The verse

आतां माझा नेणों परतों भाव । विसावोनि पायीं ठेविला जीव । सकळां लाभांचा हा ठाव । ऐसा वाव जाला चित्तीठायीं ॥१॥ भांडवल गांठी तरि विश्वास । जालों तों जालों निश्चय दास । न पाहें मागील ते वास । पुढती सोस सेवेचा ची ॥ध्रु.॥ आहे तें निवेदिलें सर्व । मी हें माझें मोडियला गर्व । अकाळीं काळ अवघें पर्व । जाला भरवसा कृपेलाभाचा ॥२॥ वेव्हारीं वेव्हारा अनंत । नाहीं यावांचुनी जाणत । तरी हें समाधान चत्ति । लाभहानी नाहीं येत अंतरा ॥३॥ करूनि नातळों संसारा । अंग भिन्न राखिला पसारा । कळवळा तो जीवनीं खरा । बीजाचा थारा दुरी आघात ॥४॥ बहु मतापासूनि निराळा । होऊनि राहिलों सोंवळा । बैसल्या रूपाचा कळवळा । तुका म्हणे डोळां लेइलों तें ॥५॥
