Abhanga 1093

English: Rāma-ci hōijē — padī padavī.

When saying Rāma becomes Rāma; sit in pada — and you have to recognize this register
When such sukha in vacana; by viśvāsa, see anubhava — and you accept this image
When Rāma-rasa flavor; how do other rasas appeal — and you allow this image

The verse

राम म्हणतां राम चि होइजे । पदीं बैसोन पदवी घेइजे ॥१॥ ऐसें सुख वचनीं आहे । विश्वासें अनुभव पाहें ॥ध्रु.॥ रामरसाचिया चवी । आन रस रुचती केवीं ॥२॥ तुका म्हणे चाखोनि सांगें । मज अनुभव आहे अंगें ॥३॥

Literal translation

What it means

Rāmacaritra abhanga 4. Four claims:

  1. राम-होईजे — पद-पदवी. Becomes-Rāma-claim. Saying Rāma becomes Rāma-ci; sit in *padī, take the padavī (rank). (The sound and the substance are one — saying the name is becoming.)

  2. वचन-सुख — विश्वास-अनुभव. Sukha-in-word-claim. Such sukha is in vacanī; by *viśvāsa, see anubhava*.

  3. राम-रस-चवी — आन-रस. Rāma-rasa-flavor-claim. The Rāma-rasa's cavī (flavor, taste); how do āna rasa (other rasas) appeal?

  4. Tuka: चाखोनि-सांगें — अंगें-अनुभव. Tasted-anubhava-mine-claim. Tuka says: cākhōnī sāngē (tasted, telling); anubhava is mine by angē (in my own body).
