The verse
भाव धरिला चरणीं म्हणवितों दास । अहिर्निशीं ध्यास करीतसें ॥१॥
करीतसें ध्यास हृदयीं सकळ । भाव तो सबळ धरियेला ॥२॥
धरिले निश्चळि न सोडीं ते पाय । तुका म्हणे सोय करीं माझी ॥३॥
Literal translation
Held-bhāva-at-feet — dāsa. Ahnir-niśīm-dhyāsa — strong-bhāva-in-hrdaya. Held-niścaḷi — won't-let-go. Tukā: make-my-sōya.
What it means
A 3-verse holding-bhāva-at-feet text. Holding bhāva at your feet, I call myself servant; day-and-night I keep constant-attention. Keeping this attention in my heart fully, the bhāva I hold is unwavering. I've held you motionless — I won't let go of those feet. Make my orientation right. The niścaḷi-dhariyēlā (held-you-motionless) is the bhakta's tight-hold image.
