Sri Nanak Parkash - Post 038

Above is a sign at Tapiana Sahib in Khadoor explaining that this was where Bhai Bala Ji narrated the life events of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji to Sri Guru Angad Dev Ji.

The following stanzas numbered thirty eight to forty three are from the second Adhyai of the Sri Nanak Parkash. In these stanzas Sri Guru Angad Dev Ji selects Bhai Lala Panoo to accompany Bhai Bala to Talwandi in order to locate the horoscope made at the time of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji's birth. The translation are below;

ਚੌਪਈ ।
ਕਹਿ ਬਾਲਾ ਮੁਖ ਸਸਹਿ ਸੁਧਾ ਸੀ । 'ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਅੰਗਦ ਸੁਨਿਯੇ ਸੁਖਰਾਸੀ ! ।
ਏਕ ਸਿੱਖ ਦੀਜੈ ਮੁਝ ਸਾਥੂ । ਜਾਵਹਿਂ ਜਸਪਦ ਦੀਨਾ ਨਾਥੂ ॥੩੮॥
Quatrain – Bhai Bala Ji replied with the sweet word, “O Sri Guru Angad Dev Ji you are the abode of bliss, please send another Sikh to accompany me so that we may return quickly. O Sri Guru Angad Dev Ji you are the protector of the meek.”38.


ਲਾਲੂ ਆਲਯ ਲੇਹਿਂ ਟੁਲਾਈ । ਆਨਹਿਂ ਹਮ ਜੇ ਤਹਿਂ ਪਾਈ ' ।
ਗੁਰ ਪਰਸੀਦੇ ਬਾਲੇ ਪਰ ਤਬ । 'ਚਿਤ ਕਰਤਾਰ ਨ ਬਿਸਰੈ ਉਰ ਕਬਿ ॥੩੯॥
“We will find the house of Baba Lalu if the horoscope is there then we will find it and bring it back here.” Sri Guru Angad Dev Ji was very pleased with Bhai Bala. Sri Guru Angad Dev Ji blessed Bhai Bala by saying, “You will never forget the Lord.” 39.

ਲਾਲ ਪੰਨੂ ਸਿੱਖ ਸਦਾਯਾ । ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਮੁਖ ਤੇ ਇਵ ਵਾਕ ਅਲਾਯਾ ।
'ਗੁਰਸਿੱਖੀ ਤੁਮ ਮਹਿਂ ਅਧਿਕਾਈ । ਜਿਵ ਸਾਵਨ ਸਰਿਤਾ ਬਹੁਤਾਈ ॥੪੦॥
Sri Guru Angad Dev Ji called for a Sikh by the name of Lala Panoo and said to him, “You have great love for the Sikh faith of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji and it continues to grow similar to the rising level of the rivers in the month of Saavan.” 40.

ਦੋਹਰਾ ।
ਬਾਲੇ ਸੰਗ ਜੱਯੈ ਤਹਾਂ, ਜਹਿਂ ਜਨਮਯੋ ਮਮ ਨਾਥ ।
ਭਵਪੱਤ੍ਰੀ ਕੋ ਆਨਿਕੈ, ਕੀਜੈ ਜਨਮ ਸਕਾਥ ॥੪੧॥
Couplet – “Accompany Bhai Bala to Talwandi which is the city where Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji manifest. Bring the horoscope of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s birth and in this way your human birth will be fruitful.” 41.

ਚੌਪਈ ।
ਸੁਨਿ ਸ਼੍ਰੂਤ ਬਚਨ ਸਮਾਤਿ ਨ ਅੰਗਾ । ਭਯੋ ਤਯਾਰ ਚਲਨ ਕੋ ਸੰਗਾ ।
ਧੰਨ ਭਾਗ ਅਪਨੇ ਕਰਿ ਜਾਨੇ । ਪੱਤ੍ਰੀ ਨਾਨਕ ਦਰਸ਼ਨ ਮਾਨੇ ॥੪੨॥
Quatrain – Bhai Lala Panoo heard the words of Sri Guru Angad Dev Ji which please his body (inner peace). He got ready to accompany Bhai Bala. He understood his fortune to be blessed that he was going to be able to see the horoscope of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. 42.

ਬੰਦਨ ਕਰਿ ਸੁਨਿ 'ਸਤਿ ਕਰਤਾਰ' । ਚਲਤਿ ਭਏ ਨਾਨਕ ਉਰ ਧਾਰਿ ।
ਮਗ ਮਹਿਂ ਮਹਿਮਾਂ ਅਮੀ ਪਟੰਤਰ । ਕਹਤਿ ਸੁਨਤਿ ਜੁਗ ਚਲਤਿ ਨਿਰੰਤਰ ॥੪੩॥
Bhai Lala Panoo heard this, prostrated in front of Guru Angad Dev Ji and said ‘Satkartar’. He adopted the thought of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji in his mind and began to accompany Bhai Bala to Talwandi. Both of the males made their ways whilst intoxicated in the glorious thoughts of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. They both listen and speak of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji whilst walking. 43.
