What it means

A the-last-request-the-saint-people-should-listen-let-that-forgetting-not-fall-of-me-O-Deva-upon-you-what-more-shall-I-speak-all-is-known-at-your-feet-I-have-fallen-at-your-feet-make-a-shade-of-kṛpā abhang. Make-a-shade-of-kṛpā register. Three claims (a closing-prayer):

शेवटची-विनवणी — संत-परिसावी. The-last-request-saints-should-listen-claim. This is the śēvaṭacī (last) *vinavaṇī (request, supplication); the samta-jana should parisāvī (listen, attend). (Tuka frames this as a final-petition* — addressed both to Deva and to the assembly of saints as witnesses.)
विसर-न-पडावा — Deva-तुम्हांसी. Don't-let-forgetting-fall-on-you-claim. Let that visara (forgetting) not fall — of me, O Deva, upon you. (The most tender request: please don't forget me. Tuka's only ask of Deva is that he not be forgotten.)
फार-बोलों-काई — पायीं-विदित — Tuka: पडिलों-पायां — छाया-कृपा. All-known-at-feet-fallen-at-feet-make-shade-of-kṛpā-claim. What more shall (I) speak ahead?; all is vidita (known) at (your) pāya (feet). Tuka says: I have fallen at (your) *pāya; make a chāyā (shade, shelter) of kṛpā. (Final surrender: words exhausted; just fallen at the feet; please shade me with kṛpā.)

For someone today

This abhang names the make-a-shade-of-kṛpā register:

The last request — the saints should hear. Final-petition.
Don't let that forgetting of me fall on you, Deva. Don't-forget-me.
All is known at your feet — I have fallen at your feet — make a shade of kṛpā. Shade-of-kṛpā.

For today: this is the śēvaṭacī vinavaṇī, samta-jana should parisāvī; that visara should not fall — of me — on Deva; nothing more to speak — avaghē pāyīm vidita; paḍilōm pāyām — karā chāyā kṛpēcī**.

This abhang is Tukaram's make-a-shade-of-kṛpā register — one of the most-tender final-petition statements. The karā chāyā kṛpēcī (make a shade of kṛpā) is the precise shade-of-kṛpā claim.

मराठी: ही ओवी make-a-shade-of-kṛpā register नाव सांगते:

शेवटची-विनवणी; संत-परिसावी. Final-petition.
विसर-न-पडावा. Don't-forget-me.
पडिलों-पायां; छाया-कृपेची. Shade-of-kṛpā.

आज: Śēvaṭacī vinavaṇī, samta-jana parisāvī; Visara तो न पडावा — माझा, Dēvā, तुम्हांसी; Avaghē pāyīm vidita — paḍilōm pāyām — karā chāyā kṛpēcī**.

Tukaram च-make-a-shade-of-kṛpā-register — Most-tender final-petition statements पैकी एक. Karā chāyā kṛpēcī precise shade-of-kṛpā claim.

Where this applies

Final-petition.* Vinavaṇī.
Don't-forget-me.* Visara.
Shade-of-kṛpā.* Pāya.
