What it means
I'll-make-uproar-give-bhātukē-Viṭhāī + Name-seed-fruit-root abhang.
The opening — child-uproar: karīna kōlhāḷa — ātām hā chi sarva-kāḷa — I'll make uproar — now this — all the time. I'll-keep-up-the-uproar (kōlhāḷa = childish-clamor) all-the-time (= I'll-keep-calling-the-mother).
Viṭhāī: ātām yē vō mājhē āīm — dē'ī bhātukē Viṭhāīm — now come, my mother — give bhātukē, Viṭhāī. Viṭhāī = Viṭhṭhal-as-mother (feminine-vocative). Come, mother Viṭhāī; give the-bhātukē.
The Name-as-upāya: upāyāsī Nāma — dilē yāchē puḍhē kṣēma — Name as the upāya — given, prosperity ahead. Name-given as-upāya; kṣēma (prosperity) lies-ahead.
The closing — seed-fruit-root: bīja āṇi phaḷa — hē chi Tukā mhaṇē mūḷa — seed and fruit — this is the root. The Name is-both-seed-and-fruit-and-root.
