Abhanga 1109

This abhang names the mastaka-ṭhēvuni-pāyī register — closing of the Ślōka-rūpī abhanga sub-series:

When my hita is just one — hold prema in Viṭhṭhalī — and you have to recognize this register

When no other crosses bhava — be it guru or 33 Dēvas — and you accept this image

When do samgī but tyāgu — Tuka places mastaka at pāya — and you receive this final closing of the sub-series

The verse

असे हीत माझें तुज कांहीं एक । धरीं विठ्ठलीं प्रेम हें पायिं सूख ॥१॥ भवतारितें दूसरें नाहिं कोणी । गुरु होत कां देव तेहतीस तीन्ही ॥२॥ करीं सर्व संगी परि त्यागु ठायीं । तुका विनवीतो मस्तक ठेवुनि पायीं ॥३॥ ॥६॥

Literal translation

English: Hīta ēka — Viṭhṭhalī prēma pāya sukha. Bhava-tāritē — guru tēhatīsa tīnhī. Tuka says: samgī tyāgu — Tuka vinavī mastaka pāyī.

मराठी: असे हित माझें तुज एक — Viṭhṭhalीं प्रेम धरीं, पायीं सुख. भव-तारितें दुसरें कोणी नाहीं — गुरु होत कां, ३३ देव तीन्हीं. सर्व संगीं करीं, परि ठायीं त्यागु — Tuka विनवीतो, मस्तक पायीं ठेवुनि. ॥६॥

भव-तारितें-दुसरें-नाहीं — गुरु-३३. Only-Viṭhṭhal-crosses-bhava-claim.
Tuka: संगी-त्याग — मस्तक-पायीं. Mastaka-at-pāya-claim.
