Above is another water colour painting Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji riding his steed known as 'Neela' with the Khalsa following their master.
In the Sri Nanak Parkash Kavi Bhai Santokh Singh Ji is continuing the invocation to Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji in the twenty fourth and twenty fifth stanzas of the first Adhayai. In the twenty fourth stanza Bhai Santokh Singh Ji writes about the beauty of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji's holy feet whilst the twenty fifth stanza is about the glory of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji. The translation of the Sri Nanak Parkash continues below.
ਕਬਿੱਤ ॥ ਕਾਂਤਿ ਕਲਿ ਤਾਲ ਮੈਂ ਪ੍ਰਫੁੱਲਤਿ ਬਿਸਾਲ ਦਲ ਮ੍ਰਿਦੁਲ ਮ੍ਰਿਦੁਲ ਤੁਲ ਲਾਲ ਲਾਲ ਮਾਨੀਯੇ ।
ਰਾਜਤਿ ਮਰਾਲ ਰਾਜ ਸੰਤਨ ਸਮਾਜ ਪਾਸ ਪਾਸੁ ਹੈ ਪਰਾਗ ਦਿਨ ਰੈਨ ਮੈਂ ਸੁਹਾਨੀਯੇ ।
ਸ਼ਿਲੀਮੁਖ ਸਿੱਖ ਮਨ ਸੌਰਭ ਅਨੰਦ ਹੇਤੁ ਛੋਰਤਿ ਨ ਆਸ ਪਾਸ ਸਦਾ ਸੋ ਭ੍ਰਮਾਨੀਯੇ ।
ਉਦਿਕ ਕਰਮ ਛੁਇ ਸਕੈ ਨ ਭਰਮ ਮਲ ਐਸੋ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਪਦ ਕੰਜ ਜਾਨੀਯੇ ॥੨੪॥
Kabit – In a way that a large pond of water has a number of large leafed blossoms emanating within in the same way the feet of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji are emanating with beauty and splendour in the world. In the way that a lotus blossom is soft so are the feet of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji. In the same way the blossom is a crimson colour and so are the feet of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji. In the way that the pond of water with the blossoms is being glorified by the presence of swans whilst Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji is being glorified by the presence of the saint, holy men and devotees around him. The specks of dirt are glorified if they are found on the lotus blossom in the same way any specks of dirt found on the feet of the Guru are glorified. In the way a bee stays close to a blossom for its nectar while the Gursikhs also remain orientated around the Guru for the beauty of the feet they do not leave the presence of the Guru. As the lotus blossom remains unaffected by the dirty water, Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji remains unaffected by the Karma (the cycle of cause and action). In this way one should remember the feet of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji as described through the metaphors of the lotus blossom. 24.
ਸ੍ਵੈਯਾ ॥ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਗੁਰੂ ਗਤਿਦਾਯਕ ਆਨ ਕੀ ਆਸ ਨਹੀ ਮਨ ਰਾਈ ।
ਚਾਤ੍ਰਿਕ ਚੀਤ ਮੁਹੂਰਮੁਹੂ ਰਟ ਸ੍ਵਾਂਤਿ ਦਿਦਾਰ ਕਬੈ ਇਹ ਪਾਈ ।
ਜੀਉ ਪਤੰਗ ਸਨੇਹ ਕੀ ਡੋਰ ਬੰਧਾ ਡਗਡੋਲ ਸੁ ਲੇਹੁ ਮਿਲਾਈ ।
ਸਿੰਧ ਹੁਤਾਸਨ ਹੈ ਭਵ ਕੀ ਗਤਿ ਮੋਹਿ ਮਯਾ ਕਰ ਲੇਹੁ ਬਚਾਈ ॥੨੫॥
Savaiya – Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji is the granter of the virtue of liberation. Bhai Santokh Singh Ji says that he does not have any other desire other then to see Guru Gobind Singh Ji even for a moment. Bhai Santokh Singh Ji says that his mind is in a similar mental state to that of the Chatrik where it constantly is saying, ‘O my beloved, O my beloved’ wishing to get a glimpse of the Guru’s feet as the Chatrik awaiting the sweet raindrop. My life is similar to that of a kite and is held with the metaphorical string of love and it is wavering so please attach me to your feet. As if the sea was on fire the world is burning in the vice of desire so please have mercy on me and save me from this fire. 25.
