He comprehends the order (of God) and obtains always the happiness, that is decreed (for him), (says) Nanak.

SM. Body, mind and property I offer up to him, who joins that Lord to me. Nanak (says): error and fear is cut off (thereby), the looking out of Tama ceases.

Tata (T.). Make friendship with him, the depository (of all) virtues, the King Govind!

Thou wilt obtain the fruits, that are desired by thy mind, thy burning will cease.

(His) fear of the path of Tama is effaced, in whose heart the name dwells.

He obtains salvation, his understanding becomes bright, in the palaces (of Hari) he gets a place.

No burning whatever will take place, when he himself removes the heat.

Nanak (says): he cherishes us, he himself is father and mother.

SM: Toilidg in many ways they have become tired, (there is) no satiety, (their) thirst is not quenched. The Sakats, continually amassing (wealth), have died, the Maya (did not go) with them.

Panri. Thatha (Th.). Nothing is durable; why do ye stretch out your foot? Tou practise many tricks, acts of violence and frauds, the Maya alone is (your) scheme. Tou amass money, you undergo labour, tired you fall down, 0 ye fools! (All this) is of no use to your soul at the time of the end.

Tou obtain a firm standing, (if) you adore G5vind, if you mind the instruction of the saints. Entertain always love with the One! this is true love.

Every affair is in the hands of the One, who is the efficient cause of the cause of causes. To whatever (state or business) he applies (them), to that they stick, (says) Nanak; the creatures (are) helpless.

SloL (By his) slaves the One is looked at who is giving everything. They continually remember him at every breath, (his) sight is (their) support, (says) Mnak.

Daila (D.). There is (only) one donor, who is giving to all.

By giving he never experiences any deficiency, innumerable store-rooms (of his) are filled.

Why, 0 foolish heart, is he forgotten (by thee)?

The fetter of the illusion of the Maya is made by the Lord.

Those disciples are satiated, (says) Nanak.

Hold and support, 0 soul, is the One; give thou up other hope!

If the name be meditated upon, (says) Nanak, thy afi'air will be right.

Pcuiri. Bhadha (Dh.). Running activity is then stopped, if (one) take up his abode with the saints. When he himself in person bestows mercy, then light is made in the heart. (This) is true wealth, those are true great merchants: (Who) have the capital of Hari and faith in the name. Composure, glory and lustre are given to him. Who hears the name of Hari with his ears. In whose heart he {i.e. Hari) is contained: That disciple obtains greatness, (says) Nanak.

Sldk. Nanak (says): (By whom) the name, the name is muttered, he has pleasure inside and outside. By the perfect Guru the instruction is given, (that there is) no hell in the society of the pious.

RAfr GAUrT, mail v., BAVANAKHRI XXXVII.— XXXIX. 371

The disciples, who are muttering the name, the hidden treasure.

Are not consumed in the Maya, the baneful thing.

No refusal (at the gate of Hari) is made to hira,

To whom the mantra of the name is given by the Guru.
