What it means
A fortune-shines-anxiety-dispelled-saint-darśana-gathers-Padma-nābha-sampuṣṭa-heart-box-stock-up-in-belly-old-treasure-by-this-bhāva-found abhang. Saint-darśana-gathers-Padma-nābha register. Three claims:
-
उजळलें-भाग्य — चिंता-वारली — संत-दर्शनें-Padma-नाभ-जोडला. Fortune-shines-and-saint-darśana-gathers-Padma-nābha-claim. Fortune (bhāgya) has ujaḷalē (shone, become-radiant — like a lit-lamp) now; all cintā (anxiety) is *vāralī (dispelled — like wind that drives-away); by the santa-darśana, this lābha — Padma-nābha (Viṣṇu — the one with the lotus-from-the-navel — i.e., Hari) has been *jōḍalā (gathered, joined-to-me). Fortune-shines-anxiety-gone; saint-darśana = Padma-nābha-gathered. (The santa-darśana-equals-Padma-nābha-darśana claim: meeting the saint is* meeting Hari.)
-
संपुष्ट-हृदय-पेटी — पोटीं-सांटवूं. Sampuṣṭa-heart-box-stock-up-in-belly-claim. (Let) this sampuṣṭa (the deposit / the sampuṣṭa-content) be the *hṛdaya-pēṭī (the heart-box); making-(it so), let-us sāmṭavūm (stock-up, put-on-shelf, store) in the pōṭī (belly). Sampuṣṭa-make-the-heart-a-box-stock-it-in-belly. (The merchant-image: Padma-nābha-found is the sampuṣṭa (the deposit); make the hṛdaya a pēṭī (a box, a strongbox) and sāmṭavūm (stock-up) in the pōṭī* (the inner-belly, the deep-storehouse).)
-
Tuka: होता-ठेवा — ह्या-भावानं-सांपडला. Old-treasure-by-this-bhāva-found-claim. Tuka says: there was a ṭhēvā (treasure, deposit-of-old — already-existing, just-not-found); that, by this bhāva (this devotional-attitude / this saint-darśana-bhāva), was-sāmpaḍalā (found, encountered). Old-treasure-already-existing-was-found-by-this-bhāva. (The closing-vedānta-claim: the ṭhēvā of Padma-nābha was always-already-there; what changed is the bhāva — this saint-darśana-bhāva that found it.)

For someone today
This abhang names the saint-darśana-gathers-Padma-nābha register:
-
Fortune shines now; all anxiety dispelled. Fortune-shines.
-
Saint-darśana = this lābha = Padma-nābha gathered. Padma-nābha-gathered.
-
Make the heart a sampuṣṭa-box; stock it in the belly; old treasure found by this bhāva. Old-treasure-found.
For today: fortune (bhāgya) has ujaḷalē now; all cintā is *vāralī; by santa-darśana, Padma-nābha is jōḍalā; the sampuṣṭa — the hṛdaya-pēṭī; let us sāmṭavūm (stock-up) in the pōṭī; the ṭhēvā (the always-present treasure) — by this *bhāva, was-sāmpaḍalā*.
This abhang is Tukaram's saint-darśana-gathers-Padma-nābha-and-old-treasure-found register — one of the most-tender santa-bhēṭi-result-statements. Compare 0840 fortunate-journey-toil-came-to-fruit (Tuka's mudra); same santa-bhēṭi-celebration but here organized around Padma-nābha-gathered-and-old-treasure-found. The hōtā ṭhēvā — tō yā bhāvā sāmpaḍalā (there was a treasure — found by this bhāva) is the precise old-treasure-found-by-bhāva claim*.

आज: Bhāgya ujaḷalē — cintā vāralī; Santa-darśana = Padma-nābha jōḍalā; Sampuṣṭa — hṛdaya-pēṭī; pōṭī *sāmṭavūm; Ṭhēvā — yā bhāvā sāmpaḍalā*.
