Tukārām's confidence: the-bhakta cannot-perish.
Tukārām's no-nāśa-to-Viṣṇu-dāsa canonical-assurance
The verse
स्मरतां कां घडे नास । विष्णुदास यावरी ॥१॥
ऐसी सीमा जाली जगीं । तरी मी वेगीं अनुसरलों ॥ध्रु.॥
धरिलें तें निवडे आतां । न घडे चित्तावेगळें ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे नाश नाहीं । पुराणें ही गर्जती ॥३॥
Literal translation
By-smaraṇa, how can-nāśa happen-to a Viṣṇu-dāsa? Such-sīmā has-settled-in-the-jagat — I-quickly anusaralōm. What-is-grasped now-nivaḍē; na-ghaḍē apart-from-chitta. Tukā: no-nāśa — Purāṇas-also-thunder-this.
What it means
A short 3-verse confidence-text. A Viṣṇu-dāsa cannot perish — this is the settled-law of the world; the Purāṇas thunder this.
