Abhanga 1145

This abhang names the puravā-kōḍa-durbaḷācē register.

When don't pour milk where sāra is; do tāka-upakāra — and you have to recognize this register

When if not anna, then phukā jīvana — and you accept this image

When cāḍa for sa-guṇa; fulfill kōḍa of durbaḷa — and you receive this final claim

The verse

नका घालूं दुध जयामध्यें सार । ताकाचे उपकार तरी करा ॥१॥ नेदा तरी हें हो नका देऊं अन्न । फुकाचें जीवन तरी पाजा ॥२॥ तुका म्हणे मज सगुणाची चाड । पुरवा कोणी कोड दुर्बळाचें ॥३॥

Literal translation

English: Dudha sāra — tāka upakāra. No anna — phukā jīvana. Tuka says: sa-guṇa cāḍa — kōḍa durbaḷa.

मराठी: नका घालूं दूध — जया-मध्यें सार — ताकाचे उपकार तरी करा. नेदा तरी, हो — नका देऊं अन्न — फुकाचें जीवन तरी पाजा. Tuka म्हणे: मज स-गुणाची चाड — कोणी पुरवा कोड दुर्बळाचें.
