The Ādi Granth, or the Holy Scriptures of the Sikhs (1877) · 147

Their faces are bright here and there, dressed (in a dress of honour) they go to the court of Hari.

The head, that does not bow down to the Lord, should be thrown down. The chest, in which there are no pangs of love (to Hari), burn that!

From the beginning, 0 KTmak, I have gone astray; again and again I was born and died. Mistaking it for musk, I fell into a stinking puddle.

The name of that Hari shoiild be meditated upon, 0 my heart, who executes his order above all.

The name of that Hari should be silently recited, 0 my heart, who at the end-time releases (from individual existence).

The name of that Hari should be silently recited, 0 my heart, who removes the thirst of the heart and all hunger.

Those disciples are very fortunate, by whom the name is silently repeated; all their wicked slanderers fall down at their feet.

0 Nanak, adore the name! by the name all are brought before thee and caused to bow down (to thee)!

The ugly, iU-tempered (woman), of a false and lying heart, makes disguises.

She does not walk after the will of her husband, the ignorant (woman) commands.

She who walks after the will of the Guru, is putting a stop to aU pains.

What is written, cannot be effaced, what is written from the beginning by the creator.

She entrusts soul and body to her husband, (who) puts her affection on the word (of the Guru).

Without the name he (Hari) is not obtained by any one, see and reflect in (thy) heart!

Nanak (says): She is beautiful and endowed with graces, who is enjoyed by the creator.

The infatuation of the Maya is darkness, neither this nor that side of it (= the world) is seen. The fleshly-minded are ignorant and fall into great pain, tliey are drowned, having forgotten the name of Hari.

Having risen early they do much work, (but their) affection is in duality.

Those who serve their own Guru, cross the water of existence.

0 Nanak, the disciples are absorbed in the True one, by keeping the true name in their breast.

Hari is omnipresent in water, earth and on the surface of the earth, there is none other. Hari himself being seated administers justice, all false ones he beats and casts out.'

' 5^fS' for the sake of the rhyme (^fs), instead of 5^.

To the true (righteous) he gives greatness (honour), by Hari equity is practised. All praise Hari, by whom the poor and helpless are protected. The righteous are applauded by him and the sinners punished.

The self-wiUed, dirty woman has evil-boding qualities and is a bad woman.

She has given up her own beloved ( = husband) in her house and is in love with another man.

Her thirst never ceases, she cries out for water.

0 Nanak, without the name she is deformed and ugly and abandoned by (her) husband.

She who is attached to the word (of the Guru), is a happy, married woman by (her) love and affec- tion to the Guru.

Her own husband she always delights by true love and affection.

She is a very beautiful, handsome and gi'aceful woman.

0 Nanak, by the name she is a happy married woman and united (with himself) by him, who is uniting.
