Gabāḷā-of-granthas — mithyā-bhēda-vāda.
The verse
गाबाळाचे ग्रंथीं कां रे पडां सदा । मिथ्या भेदवादा वागवितां ॥१॥
संसारगाबाळीं पडसी निखळ । जालासी तूं खळ तेणें मना ॥ध्रु.॥
साधनसंकटीं गुंतसी कासया । व्यर्थ गा अपायामाजी गुंती ॥२॥
निर्मळ फुकाचें नाम गोविंदाचें । अनंतजन्माचे फेडी मळ ॥३॥
तुका म्हणे नको करूं कांहीं कष्ट । नाम वाचे स्पष्ट हरि बोलें ॥४॥
Literal translation
Gabāḷā-of-granthas — mithyā-bhēda-vāda. Samsāra-gabāḷī — mana-khaḷa. Sādhana-samkaṭa — vyartha-apāya. Nirmaḷa-phukāchē-Name — clears-mala-of-ananta-janmas. Tukā: no-kaṣṭa — speak-Name-clearly.
What it means
★ A 4-verse anti-effort canonical. Why fall into the jumble of books — carrying false division-disputes? You've fallen into the world's jumble; your mind has become a wicked-one by it. Why entangled in the trouble-of-practices — vain harm. The pure, free Name of Govinda clears the mud of countless births. Don't take any pain — just speak the Name clearly by tongue. The line nirmaḷa fukāchē Nāma — for free — clears ananta-janmas' mala is the canonical Tukārām free-and-effective-Name formulation. Pair with 3890 (no-tapa-tīrtha-mahā-dāna-no-dhana), 3743 (Name-is-everything).
