What it means
Lord-took-whole-burden + body-at-feet-paid-up abhang.
The opening — Lord-took-burden: hō'uni kṛpāḷa — bhāra ghētalā sakaḷa — becoming compassionate — took the whole burden. By-compassion, the-Lord took-on-the-whole-burden.
The driving: tūm chi chālavisī mājhē — bhāra sakaḷa hī ōjhē — you drive my (work) — all the burden, the load. You-drive-my-life; all-burden-and-load on-you.
The paid-up line: dēha tujhyā pāyīm — ṭhēvuni jhālōm utarāīm — body at your feet — placed, I'm-paid (settled). Utarāīm = paid-up, debt-cleared, settled. Placing-body-at-feet, I'm-paid-up (= debt-of-life cleared).
The closing — three-fold offering: kāyā-vāchā-manē — Tukā mhaṇē dujē nēṇē — body-speech-mind — I know no other. Body-speech-mind offered; no-other-known.
