Abhanga 309The Nature of God

God's Protecting Love

मराठी मूळ · गाथा 44

ब्रम्हादिक जया लाभासि ठेंगणे । बळिये आम्ही भले शरणागत ॥१॥

कामनेच्या त्यागें भजनाचा लाभ । जाला पद्मनाभ सेवाॠणी ॥ध्रु.॥

कामधेनूचिया क्षीरा पार नाहीं । इच्छेचिये वाही वरुषावे ॥२॥

बैसलिये ठायीं लागलें भरतें । त्रिपुटीवरतें भेदी ऐसें ॥३॥

हरि नाहीं आम्हां विष्णुदासां जगीं । नारायण अंगीं विसावला ॥४॥

तुका म्हणे बहु लाटे हें भोजन । नाहीं रिता कोण राहत राहों ॥५॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation · I.P. 309

HE gain which is beyond the reach of Bramlia. 1. we simple suppliants obtain through that mighty one. By abandoning desires we acquire the worship of him; Padmanabha becomes our debtor through the service. There is no limit to the milk of Kamadhenu; it flows as the wishes of men flow. In the spot where we sit there is a tide of happiness which transcends the three-fold no THK NATURE: OF GOD distinction. We servants of Vishnu have nothing lacking in the world; Narayana is seated at peace within us. Tuka says, This is the grand dinner, where no one remains unsatisfied, or if there be any such, let him be.

Tr. J. Nelson Fraser & K.B. Marathe (1909)
