The verse
स्वामीच्या सामर्थ्या । चाले बोलिला पुरुषार्थ ॥१॥
पाठी देवाचें हें बळ । मग लाभे हातीं काळ ॥ध्रु.॥
देव ज्यासी साह्य । तेणें केलें सर्व होय ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे स्वामीसत्ता । मग नाहीं भय चित्ता ॥३॥
Literal translation
By-Swāmī-sāmarthya — puruṣārtha-walks. Behind-Deva's-baḷa — Kāla-in-hand. Deva-sāhya — all-happens. Tukā: Swāmī-sattā — no-fear-chitta.
What it means
A 3-verse Other-power-mahima text. By the power of the Master — the effort walks (succeeds) as told. With the strength of Deva behind — then Time is obtained in the hand. He whom Deva (gives) help — by him, everything happens. Tukā says: with the authority of the Master — then there is no fear in the mind. The doctrine: human-effort (puruṣārtha) succeeds only-when-backed-by-Deva-sāmarthya — and-when-Deva's-strength-is-behind, even-Kāla-is-in-your-hand. Pair with 4468 (4-fold-accessibility-Lord-helps).
