Abhanga 1101

This abhang names the yēṇē-jāṇē-khuṇṭalē register (R-c 12):

When Rāma-rājya; nothing lacking; earth yields — and you have to recognize this register

When Rāma while grinding-pounding-eating; women sing ōvī — and you accept this image

When no duḥkha in dream; nāma's roar; kāḷa's fear gone — and you allow this image

The verse

जालें रामराज्य काय उणें आम्हांसी । धरणी धरी पीक गाईं वोळल्या म्हैसी ॥१॥ राम वेळोवेळां आम्ही गाऊं ओविये । दळितां कांडितां जेवितां गे बाइये ॥ध्रु.॥ स्वप्नीं ही दुःख कोणी न देखे डोळां । नामाच्या गजरें भय सुटलें काळा ॥२॥ तुका म्हणे रामें सुख दिलें आपुलें । तयां गर्भवासीं येणें जाणें खुंटलें ॥३॥

Literal translation

English: Rāma-rājya — uṇē — pīka — gā'īm-mhaīsī vōḷalyā. Ōvī — daḷitām-kāṇḍitām-jēvitām. Svapnī — no duḥkha — nāma-gajara — kāḷa-bhaya gone. Tuka says: Rāma-sukha — yēṇē-jāṇē khuṇṭalē.

मराठी: Rāma-rājya जालें — आम्हांसी काय उणें? — धरणी पीक धरी, गाईं-म्हैसी वोळल्या. Rāma वेळो-वेळां आम्ही ओविये गाऊं — दळितां, कांडितां, जेवितां, गे बाइये. स्वप्नीं ही दुःख कोणी डोळां न देखे — नामाच्या गजरें कांळाचें भय सुटलें. Tuka म्हणे: Rāmें आपुलें सुख दिलें — त्यां गर्भ-वासीं येणें-जाणें खुंटलें.
