What it means
Fruit-in-belly-viyoga-becomes-meeting + chitta-witnesses-chitta + 15-cluster-closer abhang. CLOSES 15-ABHANG BHAKTA-LORD-BARGAIN CLUSTER (2048-2062).
The opening paradox: phaḷāchī tōm pōṭīm — ghaḍē viyōgē hī bhēṭī — the fruit is in the belly — even by viyoga the meeting happens. The fruit (of bhakti) is-already-in-the-belly; even-during-separation the-meeting-occurs. Viyoga itself-is-meeting (= in deep yearning, the beloved is most-present).
The chintana-essence: karāvē chintana — sāra tē chi āṭhavaṇa — do chintana — essence is recollection. Chintana (contemplation) — its-essence is-recollection (āṭhavaṇa).
The chitta-witness: chitta chittī gvāhī — upachārē chāḍa nāhīm — chitta is chitta's witness — no need for upachāra. The chitta witnesses-itself; no-need for-formal-rituals (upachāra). Internal-witness suffices.
The closing — inner sēvā: Tukā mhaṇē Dēvā — pāvē antarīñchī sēvā — Tuka says: Deva — inner sēvā reaches (you). The Lord-receives the inner-sēvā (= bhāva-śuddha-sēvā reaches Lord, echoing 1984).
THE MAJOR COLOPHON ॥१५॥ confirms 15-abhang bhakta-Lord-bargain cluster spanning 2048-2062. The cluster traces: opening greeting (2048) → asymmetry-acknowledgments (2049) → bargain-formulae (2050, 2055) → playful-intimacy (2052) → mutual-feeling (2053) → hands-joined-capital (2054) → no-Vaiṣṇava-niyama-for-child (2058) → cross-shame-cross-ocean (2059) → dharaṇē-protest (2060) → doorkeeper-wages (2061) → resolution-in-inner-sēvā (2062).
