The verse
धरी दोही ठायीं सारखा चि भाव । देवकी वसुदेव नंद दोघे ॥१॥
दोन्ही एके ठायीं केल्या नारायणें । वाढविला तिणें आणि व्याली ॥२॥
व्याला वाढला हा आपल्या आपण । निमित्या कारणें मायबापा ॥३॥
माय हा जगाची बाप नारायणा । दुजा करी कोण यत्न यासि ॥४॥
कोण जाणे याचे अंतरींचा भाव । कळों नेदी माव तुका म्हणे ॥५॥
Literal translation
★ Both-sets-of-parents-equal-bhāva — Devakī-Vasudeva-Nanda. Both-made-one-Nārāyaṇa — she-raised-and-bore. Born-grew-himself-by-himself — nimitya-māy-bāp. Māy-of-jagat-bāp-Nārāyaṇa — who-else-yatna-for-him. Antarīm-bhāva-not-known — Tukā: māv-not-let-known.
What it means
★ A 5-verse yamak-bandha — companion-statement to 4497's both-parents-equal claim. Both Devakī-Vasudeva (birth) and Nanda-Yashodā (raising) received equal-bhāva. The Lord himself made-both-into-one-place. He was-born-and-grew of-himself — the parents are only the nimitya (occasion-cause). The closing: Who else can make-effort for the Lord — the world's-mother-and-father-is-Nārāyaṇa himself — his-inner-bhāva is-not-let-known — his-māv stays-hidden. Pair with 4497 (Krṣṇa-everywhere-refrain with same two-parents claim), 4565 (preceding Kamsa-vadha).
