Abhanga 2476
English: Nothing impossible for you — mountain to mustard-seed, king to pauper.
The verse
तुज करितां होय ऐसें कांहीं नाहीं । डोंगराची राईं रंक राणा ॥१॥ अशुभाचें शुभ करितां तुज कांही । अवघड नाहीं पांडुरंगा ॥ध्रु.॥ सोळा सहजर नारी ब्रम्हचारी कैसा । निराहारी दुर्वासा नवल नव्हे ॥२॥ पंचभ्रतार द्रौपदी सती । करितां पितृशांती पुण्य धर्मा ॥३॥ दशरथा पातकें ब्रम्हहत्ये ऐसीं । नवल त्याचे कुशीं जन्म तुझा ॥४॥ मुनेश्वरा नाहीं दोष अनुमात्र । भांडवितां सुत्र वध होती ॥५॥ तुका म्हणे माझे दोष ते कायी । सरता तुझा पायीं जालों देवा ॥६॥
Literal translation
English: Nothing impossible for you — mountain to mustard-seed, king to pauper. Turning inauspicious into auspicious — not hard for you, Pāṇḍurangā. ★ 16,000 wives — still Brahmacāri — feeding Durvāsa fastless — not surprising ★. ★ Five-husbands' Draupadī as satī — doing pitṛ-śānti puṇya-dharma ★. Daśaratha's pāpas like brahma-hatyā — surprising you born in his womb. Munēśvara has no fault — when brought-forth, killings happen. Tuka says: what are my pāpas — I'm filling at your feet, Dēvā.
What it means
★★ THE LORD-MAKES-INAUSPICIOUS-AUSPICIOUS + MULTIPLE PURĀṆIC-PARADOXES ABHANG ★★. 6-verse Purāṇic-catechism.
The series of-paradoxes — each-example shows Kṛṣṇa's-power to-make-the-impossible-or-inauspicious-into-its-opposite:
- Kṛṣṇa as Brahmacāri-with-16,000-wives — paradoxical-marital-status
- Kṛṣṇa feeding-Durvāsa-fastless — making-the-hungry-rishi-feel-fed without-food (Mahābhārata episode)
- Pañca-bhratāra Draupadī as satī — five-husband-wife still pati-vratā
- Daśaratha's-brahma-hatyā-pāpas → still Rāma-as-son — pāpī-becomes-divinely-blessed
- Munēśvara has-no-fault — but Tukārām notes-killings-when-brought-forth
The closing-bhakti-claim: Tukā mhaṇē mājhē dōṣa tē kāyī — saratā tujhā pāyīm jālōm Dēvā — ★ what are my pāpas — I'm filling at your feet, Dēvā ★. ★ If you-could-resolve all-these-Purāṇic-paradoxes, my-pāpas are-nothing. ★ Tukārām's tour-of-Purāṇic-precedents to-claim that-the-Lord-can-clear-his-own-pāpas.
