1Here, take Naam Dayvs weight in gold, and release him.""||10||

2The king replied, ""If I take the gold, then I will be consigned to hell,

3by forsaking my faith and gathering worldly wealth.""||11||

4With his feet in chains, Naam Dayv kept the beat with his hands,

5singing the Praises of the Lord. ||12||

6"Even if the Ganges and the Jamunaa rivers flow backwards,

7I will still continue singing the Praises of the Lord.""||13||

8Three hours passed,

9and even then, the Lord of the three worlds had not come. ||14||

10Playing on the instrument of the feathered wings,

11the Lord of the Universe came, mounted on the eagle garura. ||15||

12He cherished His devotee,

13and the Lord came, mounted on the eagle garura. ||16||

14The Lord said to him, ""If you wish, I shall turn the earth sideways.

15If you wish, I shall turn it upside down. ||17||

16If you wish, I shall bring the dead cow back to life.

17Everyone will see and be convinced.""||18||

18Naam Dayv prayed, and milked the cow.

19He brought the calf to the cow, and milked her. ||19||

20When the pitcher was filled with milk,

21Naam Dayv took it and placed it before the king. ||20||

22The king went into his palace,

23and his heart was troubled. ||21||

24Through the Qazis and the Mullahs, the king offered his prayer,

25"Forgive me, please, O Hindu; I am just a cow before you."||22||

26Naam Dayv said, ""Listen, O king:

27have I done this miracle? ||23||

28The purpose of this miracle is

29that you, O king, should walk on the path of truth and humility.""||24||

30Naam Dayv became famous everywhere for this.

31The Hindus all went together to Naam Dayv. ||25||

32If the cow had not been revived,

33people would have lost faith in Naam Dayv. ||26||

34The fame of Naam Dayv spread throughout the world.

35The humble devotees were saved and carried across with him. ||27||

36All sorts of troubles and pains afflicted the slanderer.

37There is no difference between Naam Dayv and the Lord. ||28||1||10||
