Abhanga 4054
The Hari-kathā gathering revives faded hearts; the sants notice and bring forward the poor-bhakta.
The verse
जाली हरिकथा रंग वोरसला । उचितासी आला पांडुरंग ॥१॥
वांटितो हें प्रेम उचिताचा दाता । घेई रे तूं आतां धणीवरि ॥ध्रु.॥
प्रेम देऊनियां अवघीं सुखीं केलीं । जें होतीं रंगलीं विटलीं तीं ॥२॥
तुकें हें दुर्बळ देखियलें संतीं । म्हणउनि पुढती आणियेलें ॥३॥
Literal translation
Hari-kathā happened — ranga spread; Pāṇḍuranga came-deservedly. He distributes prema — the worthy-giver — take it now to dhaṇī (full). Giving prema, made all sukhī — those who'd been colored-then-faded, (revived). Tukā: the sants saw this poor-one, brought (him) forward.
What it means
A 3-verse text on the Hari-kathā as prema-distribution. Tukārām claims the sants-saw-him-poor and-brought-him-forward — a humility-claim and a sant-sanga-gratitude.
