Abhanga 4486

The verse

चिंता ते पळाली गोकुळाबाहेरी । प्रवेश भीतरी केला देवें ॥१॥ देव आला घरा नंदाचिया गांवा । धन्य त्याच्या दैवा दैव आलें ॥२॥ आलें अविनाश धरूनि आकार । दैत्याचा संहार करावया ॥३॥ करावया क्तजनाचें पालण । आले रामकृष्ण गोकुळासी ॥४॥ गोकुळीं आनंद प्रगटलें सुख । निर्भर हे लोक घरोघरीं ॥५॥ घरोघरीं जाला लक्ष्मीचा वास । दैन्यदाळिद्रास त्रास आला ॥६॥ आला नारायण तयांच्या अंतरा । दया क्षमा नरा नारीलोकां ॥७॥ लोकां गोकुळींच्या जालें ब्रम्हज्ञान । केलियावांचून जपतपें ॥८॥ जपतपें काय करावीं साधनें । जंवें नारायणें कृपा केली ॥९॥ केलीं नारायणें आपुलीं अंकित । तो चि त्यांचें हित सर्व जाणे ॥१०॥ सर्व जाणे एक विष्णु साच खरा । आणीक दुसरा नाहींनाहीं ॥११॥ नाहीं भक्ता दुजें तिहीं त्रिभुवनीं । एका चक्रपाणीवांचूनियां ॥१२॥ याच्या सुखसंगें घेती गर्भवास । तुका म्हणे आस त्यजूनियां ॥१३॥

Literal translation

★★ A 13-verse yamak-bandha-chain continuation: Chintā fled outside Gokul — Deva entered inside; Deva came to Nanda-gāva — blessed is his fortune; deathless took form — for daitya-samhāra and bhakta-jana-pālaṇa; Gokul-ānanda manifest — niṣbhara house-to-house; Lakṣmī's vāsa in house-to-house — dainya-dāliddrya-trāsa fled; Nārāyaṇa in their antara — dayā-kṣamā for nara-nārī; Gokul-folk got brahma-jñāna without japa-tapa; one Viṣṇu saca-khārā no other; bhakta no other in three-worlds except Cakra-pāṇī; take garbha-vāsa in his sukha-sang — abandoning all other āśā.

What it means

★★ A 13-verse yamak-bandha continuation from 4485, completing the Krṣṇa-in-Gokul narrative + radical-Viṣṇu-monism. Key claims: (a) avatāra-purpose: daitya-samhāra + bhakta-jana-pālaṇa, (b) Gokul-folks-get-brahma-jñāna-without-japa-tapa — radical-grace-claim, (c) one-Viṣṇu-saca-khārā — no-other-second, (d) bhakta no-other-in-three-worlds except-Cakra-pāṇī, (e) take-garbha-vāsa in-his-sukha-sang — abandoning-all-other-hope. The exclusive-Vaiṣṇava-soteriology of 4456 reappears-here. Pair with 4485 (preceding chain), 4456 (anti-pañchāyatana), 2826-2830 (Krṣṇa-janma cluster).
