Sri Nanak Parkash - Post 039


Above is an image of Bhai Mardana and Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji.


Below continues the second Adhyai of the Sri Nanak Parkash. In the stanzas translated below numbered forty four to fifty five, Bhai Bala and Bhai Lala Panoo arrive in Talwandi to locate the birth horoscope of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji at the house of Baba Lalu Ji. Please find the translated stanzas below;

ਪਹੁੰਚੇ ਜਬ ਤਲਵੰਡੀ ਜਾਇ । ਲਾਲੂ ਆਲਯ ਮਿਲਿ ਏ ਆਇ ।
ਕਰਿ ਬੰਦਨ ਪੁਨ ਬਚਨ ਉਚਾਰਾ । 'ਸੁਨਿ ਲਾਲੂ ! ਇਕ ਪਰਉਪਕਾਰਾ ॥੪੪॥
When they both arrived in Talwandi both of them went to the house of Baba Lalu to meet him. Both of them folded their hands and bowed to Baba Lalu. They said to Baba Lalu, “O Bhai Lalu we have come to complete a task for the sake of others.” 44.

ਦੋਹਰਾ ।
ਸੋਧਯੋ ਹਮ ਜੋ ਗੁਰ ਭਯੋ, ਅੰਗਦ ਪਰਮ ਨਿਧਾਨ ।
ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਨਾਨਕ ਪੁਨ ਤਿਨ ਬਿਖੈ, ਭੇਦ ਨ ਕੋਊ ਜਾਨਿ ॥੪੫॥
Couplet – “The next Guru who is a knowledgeable master is called Guru Angad Dev Ji. He is the possessor of great powers. There is no difference between Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji and Sri Guru Angad Dev Ji.” 45.

ਚੌਪਈ ।
ਦੀਨੀ ਅੰਗਦ ਕੋ ਗੁਰਿਆਈ । ਤਿਨ ਪੱਤ੍ਰੀ ਤੁਮ ਸੋਂ ਮੰਗਵਾਈ ।
ਲਾਲਸ ਹੇਰਨ ਤਾਸੁ ਬਿਸਾਲਾ । ਸੁਨਿ ਕਰਿ ਸਿੱਖ ਪਠਯੋ ਤਤਕਾਲਾ ॥੪੬॥
Quatrain – Guru Nanak Dev Ji passed the title of Guru to Sri Guru Angad Dev Ji and he is requesting the birth horoscope from you regarding Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Sri Guru Angad Dev Ji is very eager to see this horoscope. He heard about this and quickly sent a Sikh to accompany me to your house. 46.

ਲਾਲੂ ਕਹੈ 'ਨ ਮੁਖ ਸੁਧ ਕੋਊ । ਭਵਪੱਤ੍ਰੀ ਤੁਮ ਜਾਚਤਿ ਜੋਊ ।
ਨਾਨਕ ਕੇ ਤੁਮ ਬਹੁਤ ਪਯਾਰੇ । ਹਮ ਸੋਂ ਕਹੁ ਸਭਿ ਭੇਦ ਵਿਚਾਰੇ ॥੪੭॥
Baba Lalu said, “I do not know about this birth horoscope. You are the beloved friend of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji first tell me about a doubt I have?” 47.

ਗੁਰੂ ਅੰਗਦ ਹੈ ਕੈ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਚੰਦ । ਮੰਜੀ ਕਿਹਿ ਢਿਗ ਆਨੰਦ ਕੰਦ ? ।
ਸੁਤ ਨੇ ਲਈ ਕਿ ਸੇਵਕ ਪਾਈ । ਤਖਤ ਬੈਸ ਕਿਸ ਗੁਰਤਾ ਆਈ ?' ॥੪੮॥
Following the passing of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji was his successor Sri Guru Angad Dev Ji or Baba Sri Chand Ji? Who is currently occupying the blissful throne of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji? Who gained this seat? Was it the son of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji (Baba Sri Chand Ji) or his disciple (Guru Angad Dev Ji)? 48.

ਦੋਹਰਾ ।
ਕਹਿ ਬਾਲਾ, 'ਅੰਗਦ ਗੁਰੂ, ਜਿਹ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਨਾਨਕ ਆਪ ।
ਪੈਸੇ ਪੰਚ ਨਲੇਰ ਧਰਿ, ਸਿਰ ਨਿਵਾਇ ਦਿਯ ਥਾਪਿ ॥੪੯॥
Couplet – Bhai Bala Ji replied, “Sri Guru Angad Dev Ji is the Guru and Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji placed five paisas (an old Indian coin) and a coconut in front of Guru Angad dev Ji and bowed his head.” 49.

ਚੌਪਈ ।
ਤਿਨ ਕੀ ਸਮਤਾ ਹੋਵਹਿ ਕੈਸੇ । ਥਾਪਯੋ ਗੁਰੂ ਨਾਨਕ ਜਬ ਐਸੇ ।
ਖੋਜ ਲਯੋ ਹਮ ਗੁਰੁ ਮਤਧੀਰ । ਜਿਉਂ ਖਨਵਾਰੀ ਪਾਵਹਿ ਹੀਰਾ ॥੫੦॥
Quatrain – “How can one equate themself to Sri Guru Angad Dev Ji as Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji personally installed him on his throne? I have searched myself and found Guru Angad Dev Ji to have great wisdom. I have found them to be that precious as if a person was to dig the earth they may find a priceless diamond.” 50.

ਸਿਰੀ ਚੰਦ ਗੁਰ ਸੰਤਤਿ ਜਾਨੇ । ਮਾਨਹਿਂ ਮਾਨਵ ਮਨ ਅਨੁਮਾਨੇ ।
ਗੁਰ ਅੰਗਦ ਕੋ ਗੁਰਤਾ ਦਏ । ਕਿਧੋਂ ਦੁਤਿਯ ਨਾਨਕ ਪ੍ਰਗਟਾਏ ॥੫੧॥
Baba Sri Chand Ji is the progeny of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji and this is what he is known for and for this reason they will continue to respect him. However Sri Guru Angad Dev Ji was bestowed the seat of Guruship for this reason he is the second Nanak. 51.

ਸੁਨਿ ਕਰਿ ਲਾਲੂ ਗਿਰਾ ਅਲਾਈ । 'ਖੋਜਯੋ ਜੇ ਪੱਤ੍ਰੀ ਹੁਇ ਭਾਈ ।
ਕਾਗਰ ਲੇਖੇ ਕੇ ਇਕ ਥਾਂਈ । ਬਹੁ ਮਹਿਂ ਮਿਲੀ ਨ ਜਾਨੀ ਜਾਈ' ॥੫੨॥
After hearing this Bhai Lalu said the following, “You can search the house to see if you can find this horoscope as all of my brother’s (Baba Kalu Ji) paperwork is gathered in one area and I do not know what is contained within them. 52.

ਦੋਹਰਾ ।
ਕਹਿ ਬਾਲਾ 'ਲਾਲੂ ਸੁਨਹੁ ! ਤੂੰ ਕਾਲੂ ਕੋ ਭ੍ਰਾਤ ॥
ਜਨਨਿ ਜਨਕ ਨਾਨਕ ਨਹਿਨ, ਤੁਮ ਤੇ ਅਬਹਿ ਅਗਾਤਿ ॥੫੩॥
Couplet – Bhai Bala Ji said, “O Lalu, you are the brother of Baba Kalu Ji and Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s parents are no longer alive. For this reason this horoscope can only be in your possession.” 53.

ਚੌਪਈ ।
ਤੁਮ ਬਿਨ ਕੌਨ ਕਰੇ ਹਮ ਕਾਮਾ । ਭਵਪੱਤ੍ਰੀ ਉਠ ਖੋਜਹੁ ਧਾਮਾ ' ।
ਬਾਲੇ ਕੀ ਸੁਨਿ ਗਿਰਾ ਰਸਾਲੂ । ਕਾਗਰ ਗ੍ਰਿਹ ਖੋਜਤਿ ਭਾ ਲਾਲੂ ॥੫੪॥
Quatrain – “Without you who else can complete this task we have? Please get up and assist us in locating this birth horoscope.” Baba Lalu got up and assisted Bhai Bala in searching the address for the horoscope. 54.

ਖੋਜਤਿ ਖੋਜਤਿ ਪੱਤ੍ਰੀ ਜਬਹੀ । ਦਿਵਸ ਪੰਜਵੇਂ ਪਾਈ ਤਬ ਹੀ ।
ਦੀਨੀ ਲਾਲੂ ਨੈ ਕਰ ਬਾਲਾ । ਤਾਂਹਿ ਦਈ ਕਰ ਪੰਨੂ ਲਾਲਾ ॥੫੫॥
Whilst searching for the horoscope many days passed and on the fifth day they found the horoscope. Baba Lalu passed the horoscope into the hands of Bhai Bala who in turn passed it to the hands of Bhai Lala Panoo. 55.

  2. The purpose of Degh and its mahatam is discussed in the Ruts of the Sri Sooraj Parkash concerning the life of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji. It is mentioned in brief as well as in Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji's life.
