दासबोधांची आरती

(Dasabodhamci Arati)

Also known as dasbodh aarti marathi · vedamtasammatica kavyasimdhu bharala

An arati to a book. What the lamps are turned for here is the Dasbodh itself, hailed as the famed king among texts, and the verses describe it as one would describe a place: an ocean of poetry filled with what Vedanta agrees to, a confluence made where scripture and treatise bear witness together, a water in which the great and the saintly have tasted their own experience, and an easy road laid for creatures that are dull and know nothing. The refrain turns the lamps for spotless knowledge told so that a child could follow it — which is the claim the Dasbodh makes for itself, that it says the highest things in ordinary Marathi.

वेदांतसंमतीचा काव्यसिंधू भरला।
श्रुतिशास्त्रग्रंथ साक्ष संगमू केला॥
महानुभव संतजनी अनुभव चाखियला।
अज्ञान जड जीवां मार्ग सुगम केला॥१॥
जय जयाजी दासबोधा ग्रंथराज प्रसिद्धा।
आरती ओंवाळीन विमलज्ञान बाळबोधा॥
नवविधा भक्तिपंथें रामरूपानुभवी।
चातुर्यनिधि मोठा मायाचक्र उघवी॥
हरिहर हृदयींचे गुह्य प्रगट दावीं।
बद्धची सिद्ध झाले असंख्यात मानवी॥२॥
वीसही दशकींचा अनुभव जो पाहे।
नित्यनेमें विवरीतां स्वयें ब्रह्मची होये॥
अपार पुण्य गांठी तरी श्रवण लाही।
कल्याण लेखकाचे भावगर्भ हृदयीं॥३॥
॥ इति संपूर्णम् ॥
