Tukaram Gatha Abhanga 579 - Vaat vaikunthee paahatee

Marathi Text

वाट वैकुंठीं पाहाती । भक्त कैं पां येथें येती ।
तयां जन्ममरणखंती । नाहीं चित्तीं परलोक ॥१॥
धन्यधन्य हरिचे दास । तयां सुलभ गर्भवास ।
ब्रह्मादिक करिती आस । तीर्थे वास भेटीची ॥२॥
कथाश्रवण व्हावयास । यमधर्मा थोर आस ।
पाहे रात्रदिवस। वाट कर जोडोनियां ॥३॥
रिद्धिसिद्धी न पाचारितां । त्या धुंडिती हरिभक्ता ।
मोक्षसायुज्यता । वाट पाहे भक्तांची ॥४॥
असती जेथें उभे ठेले । सदा प्रेमसुखें धाले ।
आणीक ही उद्धरिले । महादोषी चांडाळ ॥५॥
सकळ करिती त्यांची आस । सर्वभावें ते उदास ।
धन्य भाग्य त्यांस । तुका म्हणे दरुषणें ॥६॥
Roman Script
1. Vaat vaikunthee paahatee, bhakt kai pa yethe yetee.
Taya janmamarankhantee, naahee chittee paralok
2. Dhanya dhanya Hariche daas, taya sulabh garbhavaas.
Bramhaadik karitee aas, teerthe vaas bheteechee
3. Kathaashravan vhaavayaas, Yamadharma thor aas.
Paahe raatradivas, vaat kar jodoniya
4. Ridhisidhhi na paachaarita, tya dhunditee Haribhakta.
Mokshasaayujyata, vaat paahe bhaktaanchee
5. Asatee jethe ubhe thele, sada premsukhe dhaale.
Aanik hee udhareele, mahaadoshee chaandal
6. Sakal karitee tyanchee aas, sarvabhaave te udaas.
Dhanya bhaagya tyaas, Tuka mhane darushane.
Translation
1. When will these devotees of Vishnu come to stay in Vaikuntha? The people in Vaikuntha are eagerly waiting for them. But these devotees are never worried about the cycles of birth and death. So, their heart is never longing for Vaikuntha.
2. These servants of Shri Hari are really blessed. They find even the pain of growing in the womb as easily acceptable. Gods like Brahmadev are eager to meet these devotees. Even holy pilgrimage places are eager to meet them (meaning they are waiting for these devotees to come to their place.
3. Even Yama (deity of death) has a great urge to listen to listen to stories of Hari, from these Vaishnavites. They keep waiting for them, day and night, with folded hands.
4. The special powers Riddhi and Siddhi come to these devotees, after having to make an effort for finding them. The highest level of liberation which is called ‘Sayujyata Muktee’ (Becoming one with God) also eagerly awaits this devotee.
5. These devotees of Hari are always fully immersed in their love for God. They have elevated many tarnished people, with the history of evil karmas; and very low cast people (who would ordinarily not be inclined to pursue spirituality). This happens just as the result of the company of these devotees.
6. Tuka says everyone wants darshan of these devotees, but these servants of Hari are very much above everything. They have achieved complete detachment. Those who get their darshan are very very fortunate.
