Abhanga 1111

English: Bhaya para — samsāra not loose.

When bhaya on top; samsāra not loosening — and you have to recognize this register

When fallen into kāñcaṇī; call dhāvā — and you accept this image

When vicāra but mana not in hand — and you allow this image

The verse

भय वाटे पर । न सुटे हा संसार ॥१॥ ऐसा पडिलों कांचणी । करीं धांवा म्हणउनी ॥ध्रु.॥ विचारितों कांहीं । तों हें मन हातीं नाहीं ॥२॥ तुका म्हणे देवा । येथें न पुरे रिघावा ॥३॥
