(3). I always Bacrifice myself for those who praise their own beloved.

Who have known the One, having done away second love.

0 Nanak! (if) by the disciple the name is known, she is absorbed in the True one.

(1). 0 Hari, thou art perfectly true, everything is in thy lap.

In the eighty-four lakhs (of forms of existence) they wander about, longing (for thee), without meeting with the Guru they are in pain.

(If) thou, 0 liberal Hari! bestowest it, there is always comfort in the body. By the favour of the Guru I serve thee, 0 true, deep, and profound one!

0 my heart, he who is steeped in the name obtains comfort!

By means of the instruction of the Guru the name should be praised, there is none other. (2). Dharmrai {i.e. Tama) has the order: sit down and decide on true religious merit! He who by second love is of a wicked mind, is under thy dominion.

Who mutter the qualities of the Supreme Hari, the vessel of virtues, the one Murari, in their heart: To them Dharmrai performs service; blessed is he who is remembering (Hari)! (.3). If the passions of the heart leave the heart, spiritual ignorance and conceit is stopped in the heart.

By whom the Supreme Spirit is known, he is readily absorbed in the name.
