Abhanga 3237
When you're worn out from being swept along by repeated struggle and illusion, ask directly to be pulled free rather than fighting the current alone.
Tukārām's many-janma-pheras; rescue-from-māyāpurī petition (closes 3158-3237 gap)
The verse
बहु जन्मांतरें फेरे । केले येरे सोडवीं ॥१॥
आळवितों करुणाकरे । विश्वंभरे दयाळे ॥ध्रु.॥
वाहवतों मायापुरीं । येथें करीं कुढावा ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे दुजा कोण । ऐसा सीण निवारी ॥३॥
