Abhanga 1419
For today: the world is a full market of bustle, samcita-paths branching; Hari is the samkalpa-less witness; the rule of pāpa-puṇya runs automatically; people are pulled by debt — but calling on Hari cuts the bondage.
The verse
भरला दिसे हाट । अवघी वाढली खटपट । संचिताचे वाट । वाटाऊनि फांकती ॥१॥ भोगा ऐसे ठायाठाव । कर्मा त्रिविधाचे भाव । द्रष्टा येथें देव । विरहित संकल्पा ॥ध्रु.॥ दिला पाडूनियां धडा । पापपुण्यांचा निवाडा । आचरती गोडा । आचरणें आपुलाल्या ॥२॥ तुका म्हणे पराधीनें । जालीं ओढलिया ॠणें । तुटती बंधनें । जरि देवा आळविते ॥३॥
Literal translation
English: The hāṭa appears full — all the khaṭa-paṭa has grown — samcita's vāṭa — having allotted, branch out. Places-and-seats by bhōga — bhāvas of three-fold karma — the draṣṭā here is Deva — virahita of samkalpa. Hari laid down the dhaḍā — the nivāḍa of pāpa-puṇya — they practice sweetly — each their own ācaraṇa. Tuka says: by para-adhīna — they have become ōḍhalī by ṛṇa — the bandhanas get cut — if they call on Deva.

What it means
Samsāra-as-Hari's-market abhang. The opening cosmic-market-image: bharalā disē hāṭa — avaghī vāḍhalī khaṭapaṭa — samcitācē vāṭa — vāṭā'ūnī phānkatī — the hāṭa (= market) appears full; — all the khaṭa-paṭa (= bustle) has grown; — samcita's paths — having been allotted out, branch out. The whole world is a full market of bustle; the samcita-karma-paths have been handed out (vāṭā'ūnī = portioned-out) and branch in many directions.
The mechanics: bhōgā aisē ṭhāyā-ṭhāva — karmā tri-vidhācē bhāva — draṣṭā yēthēm Deva — virahita samkalpā — places-and-seats according to bhōga; — bhāvas of three-fold karma (= samcita, prārabdha, kriyamāṇa); — the draṣṭā (witness) here — is Deva; — virahita (free from) samkalpa. Hari is the witness-without-samkalpa — he watches the karma-game without himself willing it. (= Vedānta-formulation: Hari is kūṭastha-sākṣī, the unaffecting witness.)
The legal-image: dilā pāḍūniyām dhaḍā — pāpa-puṇyāñcā nivāḍā — ācaratī gōḍā — ācaraṇēm āpulālyā — (Hari) — having laid down — the dhaḍā (= scheme); — the nivāḍā (verdict / settlement) of pāpa-puṇya; — they (sweetly) practice (gōḍā) — each their own ācaraṇa. Hari has laid down the rule-scheme; the nivāḍa (verdict) on pāpa-puṇya runs automatically; people sweetly practice their own conduct — each thinking it's good.
The closing: parādhīnēm — jālīm ōḍhaliyā ṛṇēm — tuṭatī bandhanēm — jarī Devā āḷavitē — by para-adhīna (= other-dependence) — they've become drawn-along by ṛṇa (debt); — the bandhana (bonds) — get cut — if they call upon Deva. The escape-clause: call on Deva, the bonds get cut. (Compare 1410's hāka-dē'īna-Nārāyaṇā — Paṇḍharīcā rāṇā āikōna dhāvēla — same call-and-Hari-rescues mechanism.)
