The verse

Literal translation

What it means

A real-impurity-is-others'-wealth-and-others'-wife-far-from-these-pure-in-prose-or-verse-no-artifice-keep-buddhi-one's-own-do-something-for-self-good-with-vicāra-the-pāpa-puṇya-capital-no-need-to-go-into-forest-the-world-is-same-as-Viśvambhara abhang. Real-purity-and-no-need-of-forest register. Three claims:

1. विटाळ-पर-द्रव्य-पर-नारी — दुरी-सोंवळा. Real-impurity-claim. The (real) viṭāḷa is para-dravya, para-nārī; far from these is sōvaḷā. Real-purity-defined.

2. गद्य-पद्य-उपाधि-नकाहीं — बुद्धि-स्वाधीन — विचार-स्व-हित — पाप-पुण्य-भांडवल. No-artifice-self-good-claim. No upādhi in gadya-padya; buddhi *sva-adhīna; vicāra for sva-hita; pāpa-puṇya is the bhāṇḍavala**.

3. Tuka: वन-अंतर-नकाहीं — विश्व-Viśvambharā-सारिखें. No-forest-needed-claim. Tuka says: no van-āntara needed; the viśva is the same as Viśvambhara. World-itself-is-Hari.

For someone today

This abhang names the real-purity-and-no-need-of-forest register:

1. Real impurity is others' wealth and others' wife. Real-impurity.

2. In prose or verse, no upādhi; buddhi one's own. Self-anchored.

3. With vicāra, do for self-good; pāpa-puṇya is the capital. Moral-capital.

4. No need of forest; the world is the same as Viśvambhara. Right-here.

For today: real viṭāḷa — para-dravya, para-nārī; durī of these = *sōvaḷā; gadya-padya — no upādhi; buddhi sva-adhīna; vicāra — *sva-hita, pāpa-puṇya bhāṇḍavala; no van-āntara, viśva = Viśvambhara*.

This abhang is Tukaram's real-purity-and-no-need-of-forest register — one of the most-precise pure-bhakti-in-the-world statements. Compare 0865 Vārkarī-no-renunciation-needed (Tuka's mudra); same anti-renunciation but here organized as real-purity-defined-and-world-is-Hari. The viśva Viśvambharā sārikhēm ci (the world is the same as Viśvambhara) is the precise world-as-Hari claim*.

मराठी: ही ओवी real-purity-and-no-need-of-forest register नाव सांगते:

1. पर-द्रव्य-पर-नारी-विटाळ. Real-impurity.

2. बुद्धि-स्वाधीन. Self-anchored.

3. पाप-पुण्य-भांडवल. Moral-capital.

4. विश्व-Viśvambhara. Right-here.

आज: Viṭāḷa — para-dravya, para-nārī; durī = sōvaḷā; Gadya-padya upādhi नकाहीं; *buddhi sva-adhīna; Vicāra — sva-hita, pāpa-puṇya-bhāṇḍavala; Van-antarā नकाहीं — viśva = Viśvambharā sārikhēm.

Tukaram च-real-purity-and-no-need-of-forest-register — Most-precise pure-bhakti-in-the-world statements पैकी एक. 0865 (Tuka mudra) compare; तीच anti-renunciation पण इथे real-purity-defined-and-world-is-Hari च्या मार्गाने. Viśva Viśvambharā sārikhēm ci precise world-as-Hari claim.
