Abhanga 3726
The verse
पाठीवरी भार । जातो वाहूनियां खर ॥१॥
संत नेतील त्या ठाया । माझी आधीन त्यां काया ॥ध्रु.॥
मोटचौफळ । अंतीं उच्छिष्टाचें बळ ॥२॥
न संडीं मारग । येथें न चोरूनि अंग ॥३॥
आपुलिया सत्ता । चालविती नाहीं चिंता ॥४॥
कळवळिला तुका । घराचार येथें नका ॥५॥

What it means
★ A 5-verse opening of the 2-abhang donkey-as-bhakta cluster (continues in 3727). The donkey carries the load on its back; the santas will take me — my body is in their authority. The bundle-square; at the end, strength is from leftovers (uchchhiṣṭa). Don't leave the road, don't hide; by their authority, no worry. Tukā moved-(with-pity); don't do household-conduct here.
