Abhanga 918

English: Uṇē — samartha — dōṣa — me.

When what shortage You the samartha have; what dōṣa of mine? — and you have to recognize this register

When since You don't take me — I'll tell the saints — and you accept this image

When have I attached elsewhere; show me a witness — and you allow this image

The verse

काय उणें जालें तुज समर्थासी । ऐसा मजपाशीं कोण दोष ॥१॥ जो तूं माझा न करिसी अंगीकार । सांगेन वेव्हार संतांमधीं ॥२॥ तुजविण रत आणिकांचे ठायीं । ऐसें कोण ग्वाही दावीं मज ॥३॥ तुका म्हणे काय धरूनी गुमान । सांग उगवून पांडुरंगा ॥४॥

Literal translation

English: Uṇē — samartha — dōṣa — me. Angīkāra — none. Vēvhāra — santa. Rata — āṇika — gvāhī. Tuka says: gumāna — ugavūna — Pāṇḍuranga.

मराठी: काय उणें जालें, तुज समर्थासी? — ऐसा माझ्या-पाशीं कोण दोष?. जो तूं माझा अंगीकार करीत नाहीं — संतांमधीं वेव्हार सांगेन. तुज-विण आणिकांचे-ठायीं रत आहें का — ऐसा कोण ग्वाही, दाव मज. Tuka म्हणे: काय गुमान धरूनी — Pāṇḍurangā, उगवून सांग.

What it means

A what-shortage-the-samartha-has-what-dōṣa-of-mine-since-You-don't-take-me-I'll-complain-to-saints-have-I-attached-elsewhere-no-witness-why-the-sullen-pride-speak-it-out-Pāṇḍuranga abhang. I'll-complain-among-saints register. Four claims:

उणें-समर्थासी — दोष-मज-कोण. No-shortage-on-Your-side-claim. What uṇē (shortage) for-You-the-samartha?; what dōṣa is at my side? Neither-side-deficient-yet-no-meeting*.
अंगीकार-नाहीं — वेव्हार-संतांमधीं-सांगेन. Complain-to-saints-claim. Since You don't angīkāra me; I'll sāngēna the vēvhāra among the santas. Saints-as-court-of-appeal*.
तुज-विण-रत-आणिकां — ग्वाही-दाव. Show-me-the-witness-claim. Have I rata elsewhere?; what gvāhī? — show me. No-rival-attachment-witness.
Tuka: गुमान-कां — उगवून-सांग. Why-hold-gumāna-speak-out-claim. Tuka says: why holding gumāna? — speak it *ugavūna, Pāṇḍurangā. Don't-sulk; speak-out*.

For someone today

This abhang names the I'll-complain-among-saints register:

What shortage Your side, what dōṣa mine? Neither-deficient.
Since You don't take me — I'll complain to saints. Saints-as-court.
Have I attached elsewhere? show witness. No-rival.
Why holding gumāna; speak it out, Pāṇḍuranga. Don't-sulk.

For today: what uṇē for-You-samartha?; what dōṣa mine?; You don't angīkāra — I'll sāngēna vēvhāra among the santas; am I rata elsewhere — gvāhī?; why gumāna — ugavūna sānga, Pāṇḍurangā**.

This abhang is Tukaram's I'll-complain-among-saints register — one of the most-precise saints-as-court statements. Compare 0851 six-question-cross-examination (Tuka's mudra); same Hari-as-defendant-style but here organized as I'll-take-this-to-the-saints. The sāngēna vēvhāra santāmadhīm (I'll tell the account among the saints) is the precise complaint-to-court image*.

मराठी: ही ओवी I'll-complain-among-saints register नाव सांगते:

उणें-दोष-दोन्ही-नाहीं. Neither-deficient.
संतां-मधीं-वेव्हार. Saints-as-court.
ग्वाही-दाव. No-rival.
गुमान-नको. Don't-sulk.

आज: Uṇē तुज samartha-शी काय? dōṣa माझ्याकडे काय?; Angīkāra नाहीं — santāmadhīm vēvhāra; Rata āṇikāñcē नाहीं — gvāhī?; Gumāna कां — ugavūna sānga, Pāṇḍurangā.

Tukaram च-I'll-complain-among-saints-register — Most-precise saints-as-court statements पैकी एक. 0851 six-question-cross-examination (Tuka mudra) compare; तीच Hari-as-defendant-style पण इथे take-it-to-the-saints च्या मार्गाने. Sāngēna vēvhāra santāmadhīm precise complaint-to-court image.

Where this applies

Neither-deficient.* Mystery.
Saints-as-court.* Appeal.
Don't-sulk.* Be-clear.
