Abhanga 1059

When warriors made paths walkable by breaking alien's hoard — and you have to recognize this register
When taking the storehouse, kept our own people — and you accept this image
When without basis what blabbers — character not revealed — and you allow this image

The verse

पाइकांनीं पंथ चालविल्या वाटा । पारख्याचा सांटा मोडोनियां ॥१॥ पारखिये ठायीं घेउनियां खाणें । आपलें तें जन राखियेलें ॥ध्रु.॥ आधारेंविण जें बोलतां चावळे । आपलें तें कळे नव्हे ऐसें ॥२॥ सांडितां मारग मारिती पाईंक । आणिकांसी शीक लागावया ॥३॥ तुका म्हणे विश्वा घेऊनि विश्वास । पाईंक तयास सुख देती ॥४॥

What it means

A the-warriors-have-made-paths-walkable-by-breaking-the-alien's-hoard-taking-the-alien's-storehouse-they-kept-our-own-people-as-ours-without-basis-what-blabbers-its-own-character-isn't-as-it-should-be-revealed-when-someone-leaves-the-path-the-warriors-strike-them-to-make-others-learn-the-lesson-the-world-when-it-takes-trust-the-warriors-give-it-pleasure abhang. Warriors-give-sukha-to-trusting-world register. Five claims:

  1. पंथ-वाटा-चालविल्या — पारख्या-सांटा-मोडोन. Made-paths-walkable-claim. The pāikas have made vāṭā cālavilyā (walkable, paved); by mōḍōn the pārakhyā's (alien's, enemy's) sāṭā (hoard). (By breaking the enemy's stockpile, made the road safe.)

  2. पारख-ठाय-खाणें — आपलें-जन-राखिलें. Took-storehouse-kept-people-claim. Taking the pārakhiyē-ṭhāyī (the alien's place), kept the āpalē jana (own people)*.

  3. आधार-विण-चावळे — आपलें-कळे-नव्हे. Without-basis-blabbers-claim. Without ādhāra (basis), what *bōlatām cāvaḷē (blabbers); own (character) is not revealed as it is. (Words without grounding don't reveal one's true character properly.)

  4. मारग-सोडतां — पाईक-मारतें — शीक. Strike-to-teach-others-claim. When (someone) sāṇḍitām mārga (leaves the path), the pāikas *māritī (strike); for śīka* (lesson) to others.

  5. Tuka: विश्व-विश्वास — सुख. Trusting-world-given-sukha-claim. Tuka says: the viśva — taking *viśvāsa (trust); pāikas give him sukha*. (Whoever trusts the world entirely receives sukha from the warriors.)
