1Chhachha: Ignorance exists within everyone; doubt is Your doing, O Lord.

2Having created doubt, You Yourself cause them to wander in delusion; those whom You bless with Your Mercy meet with the Guru. ||10||

3Jajja: That humble being who begs for wisdom has wandered begging through 8.4 million incarnations.

4The One Lord takes away, and the One Lord gives; I have not heard of any other. ||11||

5Jhajha: O mortal being, why are you dying of anxiety? Whatever the Lord is to give, He shall keep on giving.

6He gives, and gives, and watches over us; according to the Orders which He issues, His beings receive nourishment. ||12||

7Nyanya: When the Lord bestows His Glance of Grace, then I do not behold any other.

8The One Lord is totally pervading everywhere; the One Lord abides within the mind. ||13||

9Tatta: Why do you practice hypocrisy, O mortal? In a moment, in an instant, you shall have to get up and depart.

10Don't lose your life in the gamble - hurry to the Lord's Sanctuary. ||14||

11T'hat'ha: Peace pervades within those who link their consciousness to the Lord's Lotus Feet.

12Those humble beings, whose consciousness is so linked, are saved; by Your Grace, they obtain peace. ||15||

13Dadda: Why do you make such ostentatious shows, O mortal? Whatever exists, shall all pass away.

14So serve Him, who is contained and pervading among everyone, and you shall obtain peace. ||16||

15Dhadha: He Himself establishes and disestablishes; as it pleases His Will, so does He act.

16Having created the creation, He watches over it; He issues His Commands, and emancipates those, upon whom He casts His Glance of Grace. ||17||

17Nanna: One whose heart is filled with the Lord, sings His Glorious Praises.

18One whom the Creator Lord unites with Himself, is not consigned to reincarnation. ||18||

19Tatta: The terrible world-ocean is so very deep; its limits cannot be found.

20I do not have a boat, or even a raft; I am drowning - save me, O Savior King! ||19||

21T'hat'ha: In all places and interspaces, He is; everything which exists, is by His doing.

22What is doubt? What is called Maya? Whatever pleases Him is good. ||20||

23Dadda: Do not blame anyone else; blame instead your own actions.

24Whatever I did, for that I have suffered; I do not blame anyone else. ||21||

25Dhadha: His power established and upholds the earth; the Lord has imparted His color to everything.

26His gifts are received by everyone; all act according to His Command. ||22||

27Nanna: The Husband Lord enjoys eternal pleasures, but He is not seen or understood.

28I am called the happy soul-bride, O sister, but my Husband Lord has never met me. ||23||

29Pappa: The Supreme King, the Transcendent Lord, created the world, and watches over it.

30He sees and understands, and knows everything; inwardly and outwardly, he is fully pervading. ||24||

31Faffa: The whole world is caught in the noose of Death, and all are bound by its chains.

32By Guru's Grace, they alone are saved, who hurry to enter the Lord's Sanctuary. ||25||

33Babba: He set out to play the game, on the chess-board of the four ages.
