बहु हा दयाळु Bahu Ha Dayalu (He is Ever So Compassionate)

संत चोखामेळा सांगतात, परमेश्वर अत्यंत कनवाळू व दयाळू आहे. तो आपल्या भाविक भक्तांचे मन ओळखून त्यांना सांभाळतो, त्यांची काळजी घेतो.

At the very start of the abhang, Sant Chokhamela says that God is extremely compassionate and merciful. He understands the hearts of His devoted followers and lovingly indulges their loving whims, caring for them tenderly. Chokhamela underscores this quality of God - understanding a devotee's feelings and caring for them - in this abhang.

चोखामेळा सांगतात, परमेश्वर भक्ताची जात, धन किंवा नातेगोते काहीही न पाहता त्याला जवळ करतो. भक्त फक्त निःशंकपणे त्याच्या पायांवर मिठी मारतो, तेवढेच पुरेसे असते.

In the following lines, Chokhamela says that God pays no attention to a devotee's caste, wealth or family lineage; He regards everyone equally. All God expects of the devotee is that they embrace His feet without hesitation or doubt. Through this, Chokhamela clearly conveys God's impartial vision and love, free of all discrimination.

चोखामेळा सांगतात, परमेश्वर न मागताही स्वतःहून भक्तांच्या ऋणात राहतो आणि भाविकांना सुख व मुक्ती दोन्ही देतो.

Chokhamela says that even without being asked, God willingly places Himself under obligation to His devotees, granting the faithful both worldly comfort (bhukti) and spiritual liberation (mukti). Through these lines, Chokhamela describes God's generous, self-motivated grace.

शेवटी चोखामेळा म्हणतात, असा हा चतुर, प्रेमळ श्रीहरी आहे, जो केवळ दर्शनानेच भक्ताचे संसाराचे भय दूर करतो.

At the end of the abhang, Chokhamela, naming himself, says that Shri Hari is so clever and loving that His mere sight alone dispels a devotee's fear of worldly existence (bhavbhay). Through this, Chokhamela underscores the importance of beholding God and the power of His grace.
