Abhanga 1123

English: Dēva — make others — no samdēha.

When if you become Dēva, you make others Dēva — and you have to recognize this register

When if you become duṣṭa, you make others duṣṭa — and you accept this image

When what is reflected in the mirror, becomes fixed with certainty — and you receive this final claim

The verse

देव होसी तरी आणिकांतें करिसी । संदेह येविशीं करणें न लगे ॥१॥ दुष्ट होसी तरी अणिकांतें करिसी । संदेह येविशीं करणें न लगे ॥२॥ तुका म्हणे जें दर्पणीं बिंबलें । तें तया बाणलें निश्चयेसीं ॥३॥

Literal translation
