(3). Who wins over the whole- heart of the Guru:

He is the true Guru, in whose heart is the name of Hari.

Many times I am a sacrifice to (that) Guru.

All treasures (are in him), (he is) the donor of the creatures.

The eight watches he is steeped in the colour of the Supreme Brahm.

(His) people are in Brahm and the Supreme Brahm is in (his) people.

In himself alone (there is) no error whatever.

By a thousand dexterities he cannot be acquii-ed.

Nanak (says): such a Gui-u is obtained by him, whose lot is great.

(4). His {i.e. the Guru's) sight is fruitful, who sees him becomes purified.

Who is touching (in adoration) his feet, his walk and practice (become) spotless.

Who is meeting with (him) utters the excellences of Earn.

He goes to the threshold of the Supreme Brahm.

Hearing (his) words the ears ai'e satiated.

There is contentment in the heart, the soul is assured.

On whom the perfect Guru, whose mantra is unfailing,

Looks with his nectar-glance, he becomes a saint.

(His) excellences (are) endless, an estimate (of them) is not obtained.

Nanak (says): whom he pleases, him he unites (with Hnri).

(5). The tongue is one, (his) praises many.

No man reaches by discrimination or by any word.

Unattainable, inapprehensible is the Lord, who enjoys perfect bliss.

He is not eating, without enmity, bestowing happiness.

They remember the lotus-foot in their heart.

(I am) always a sacrifice to my own true Guru,

By whose favour (I am) muttering such a Lord, (says) Nanak.

(6). This juice of Hari some (rare) man obtains.

"Who drinks (this) nectar, he becomes immortal.

In whose heart his (= Hari's) excellences are displayed.
