Abhanga 1018

English: Śaraṇāgata — ankita — hita — Pāṇḍuranga.

When I have become your refuge-taker, marked-as-yours; do my welfare — and you have to recognize this register

When patita-pāvana is your title — take care, mother-father — and you accept this image

When saints say anātha-nātha — hearing, I trusted — and you allow this image

The verse

तुझा शरणागत जालों मी अंकित । करीं माझें हित पांडुरंगा ॥१॥ पतितपावन तुझी ब्रीदावळी । ते आतां सांभाळीं मायबापा ॥ध्रु.॥ अनाथाचा नाथ बोलतील संत । ऐकोनियां मात विश्वासलों ॥२॥ न करावी निरास न धरावें उदास । देई याचकास कृपादान ॥३॥ तुका म्हणे मी तों पातकांची रासी । देई पायापासीं ठाव देवा ॥४॥

पतित-पावन — ब्रीदावळी — सांभाळ-मायबाप. Title-take-care-mother-father-claim. Patita-pāvana is your brīdāvalī (string-of-titles, signature-epithets borne on your standard); now sambhāḷī, *māyā-bāpa.
