Abhanga 4569

The verse

मारिले असुर दाटले मेदिनी । होते कोणाकोणी पीडित ते ॥१॥ ते हा नारायण पाठवी अघोरा । संतांच्या मत्सरा घातावरी ॥२॥ वरिले ते दूतीं यमाचिया दंडीं । नुच्चरितां तोंडीं नारायण ॥३॥ नारायण नाम नावडे जयासि । ते जाले मिरासी कुंभपाकीं ॥४॥ कुंभपाकीं सेल मान तो तयांचा । तुका म्हणे वाचा संतनिंदा ॥५॥
