Abhanga 4129
The verse
हरिजनीं प्राण विकली हे काया । अंकिला मी तया घरीं जालों ॥१॥
म्हणियें सत्वर करीन सांगतां । घेईन मी देतां शेष त्यांचें ॥ध्रु.॥
आस करूनियां राहेन अंगणीं । उश्चिष्टाची धणी घ्यावयासी ॥२॥
चालतां ते मार्गा चरणीचे रज । उडती सहज घेइन आतां ॥३॥
दुरि त्यांपासूनि न वजें दवडितां । तुका म्हणे लाता घेइन अंगीं ॥४॥
Literal translation
Hari-jana-sold-prāṇa-kāyā — ankilā-at-their-house. Quick-to-do — take-uchchhiṣṭa-leftover. Sit-angaṇa — charaṇa-rajas-fly-take-now. Don't-go-far-when-driven. Tukā: take-lātā-on-body.
What it means
★ A 4-verse bondsman-of-Hari-jana text. I have sold my breath and body to the Hari-people; I have become a bondsman at their house. Whatever they ask, I'll say I'll do quickly; I'll take the leftovers when given. I'll set up in their courtyard, to take the abundance of their food-leavings. When they walk on the path, the dust of their feet flies naturally — I'll take it now. Even if driven off, I won't go far. I'll even take their kicks on my body. Pair with 4072 (extreme-humility — pebbles-stones-cat-pig-dog) — same bondsman-spirit applied to Hari-people directly.
