Couplet – The games from Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s childhood life have been narrated with great bliss. The Sikh who adopts the form of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s feet within his heart will gain the essence of peace. 72

Sri Nanak Parkash - Post 064

Above is an image i should have put on the web earlier. The image shows the midwife Doulata, Baba Kalu Ji holding the baby, Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji and lastly Pandit Hardayal Ji.

Below are the translations from the fifth Adhyai of the Sri Nanak Parkash and the stanzas numbered sixty one to seventy within which Mata Tripta Ji witnesses the demi gods worshipping her child, Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Sri Guru Nanak dEv Ji using their psychic powers realises that Mata Ji has noticed this and makes her forget by ensnaring her back into attachment. The stanzas are below;

ਚੌਪਈ ।
ਹੌਂ ਹੇਰੇ ਸੁਪਨੇ ਕੀ ਨ੍ਯਾਈਂ । ਅਬਲੌ ਚਰਚ੍ਯੋ ਬਿਦਤ ਦਿਸਾਈ ।
ਚਿਤ ਵਿਚਾਰ ਕਰਤ੍ਯੋਂ ਪਰਭਾਤੂ । ਚਢ੍ਯੋ ਸੁ ਮਾਰਤੰਡ ਬਖ੍ਯਾਤੂ ॥੬੧॥
Quatrain – (Mata Tripta Ji is thinking to herself) I remember seeing this all as if it was a dream however I can actually see the sandalwood on the body of my son. In this way she continued to deliberate on this until the morning when the sun rose. 61.

ਜਾਨੀ ਨਾਨਕ ਜੀ ਮਨ ਮਾਤਾ । ਤਾਨ ਦਈ ਤਬ ਮੋਹ ਕਨਾਤਾ ।
ਜਾਗੇ ਪੁਨ ਕਰਿਕੈ ਮੁਖ ਰੂਖਾ । ਕਹੈਂ 'ਮਾਤ ! ਦੇ ਭੋਜਨ, ਭੂਖਾ ' ॥੬੨॥
At that moment Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji who was the knower of all realised that his mother Mata Tripta Ji had realised what had occurred. For that reason Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji engrossed his mothers mind in attachment. When Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji woke up then they made themselves look sad and said to his mother, “O Mother I am hungry please make some food for me.” 62.

ਨਿਸ ਕੀ ਭੂਲੀ ਸਕਲ ਵਿਚਾਰਾ । ਲਖੀ ਰਿਦੇ ਸੁਤ ਮੈਂ ਭੁਖ੍ਯਾਰਾ ।
ਦਧਿ ਸੋਂ ਅਸਨ ਦੀਨ ਹਿਤ ਖਾਨੇ । ਜਿਉਂ ਆਗੈ ਜਾਨੈ ਤਿਉਂ ਜਾਨੇ ॥੬੩॥
After saying this Mata Tripta Ji forgot all about the events in the night and in her heart only had the worry about her hungry son. She fed her son and gave him some yogurt and only thought of him as she did previously. 63.

ਦੋਹਰਾ ।
ਅਸਨ ਸਦਨ ਤੇ ਅਚਵ ਕੈ, ਮਿਲੇ ਬਾਲ ਜਹਿਂ ਜਾਲ ।
ਪਦ ਨੂਪਰ ਕਟ ਕਿੰਕਨੀ, ਹੋਵਤਿ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਬਿਸਾਲ ॥੬੪॥
Couplet – When Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji ate his food he went out to play with his friends who had come to see him. When Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji left he could be heard by his anklets making loud noises. 64

ਚੌਪਈ ।
ਬਿਚਰਹਿਂ ਖੇਲਨ ਮਹਿਂ ਅਨੁਰਾਗੇ । ਭਾਗੇ ਭਾਗਹਿਂ ਬਾਲ ਸਭਾਗੇ ।
ਥਿਰ ਹੋਵਤਿ, ਥਿਤ ਹੋਵਹਿਂ ਸਾਰੇ । ਬੈਸਹਿਂ, ਬੈਸ ਜਾਇਂ ਇਕਬਾਰੇ ॥੬੫॥
Quatrain – In this way Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji remained in his games. When Guru Nanak Dev Ji ran then so did all of the other children. When Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji stopped and stood still or sat down so did all the other children. 65.

ਨਾਨਕ ਆਨਨ ਭਾਨਹਿਂ ਕਹਾਨੀ । ਭਗਤਿ ਬਿਰਾਗ ਵਿਖੈ ਜੋ ਸਾਨੀ ।
ਸ਼੍ਰਵਣ ਮਨਨ ਕਰਿਹਹਿਂ ਨਿੰਧ੍ਯਾਸਾ । ਪੁਨ ਸੁਨਨੇ ਕੀ ਵਧਹਿ ਪਿਆਸਾ ॥੬੬॥
Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji used to tell all of the other children numerous stories which are imbued with dispassion and meditation to God. The children listen to the discourse, accept the teachings and adopt the practices from the stories. The thirst for stories seems to increase with the children. 66.

ਗਿਰਾ ਸੁਗੰਧਿ ਬਦਨ ਅਰਬਿੰਦਾ । ਜੁਗਤਿ ਯੁਕਤਿ ਸੁੰਦਰ ਮਕਰੰਦਾ ।
ਬਾਲ ਬ੍ਰਿੰਦ ਸਮਭਏ ਮਲਿੰਦਾ । ਸ਼੍ਰਵਨ ਪ ਕਰਹਿਂ, ਅਗਾਤ ਅਨੰਦਾ ॥੬੭॥
The face of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji is like a lotus blossom and his words are full of fragrance. It draws the attention of all due to the sweet essence contained in his words. The other children are like bees that surround Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. They all listen to the words with their ears and become engrossed in bliss. 67.

ਦੋਹਰਾ ।
ਆਵਤਿ ਜਾਵਤਿ ਮਨੁਜ ਕੋ, ਸੁਨਤਿ ਠਾਢ ਹੁਇ ਜਾਇ ।
ਪੰਡਤ ਸੇ ਮਧੁਰੇ ਲਗਹਿਂ, ਕੀਰਤਿ ਬਦਨ ਅਲਾਇਂ ॥੬੮॥
Couplet – Whichever person comes or goes on his/her way they stand still when they hear Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji as his words are sweet as if they were spoken by a knowledgeable individual. These people all sing the praises of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. 68.

ਚੌਪਈ ।
'ਇਹ ਬਾਲਿਕ ਕੈਸੇ ਬਚ ਬੋਲਹਿ । ਬਾਲ ਬੈਸ ਹੈ ਬੋਲ ਅਮੋਲਹਿ ' ।
ਚੰਦ ਬਦਨ ਤੇ ਸੁਧਾ ਸਮਾਨੀ । ਸ਼੍ਰੂਤ ਦਰ ਪਾਨਦ ਬੋਲਤਿ ਬਾਨੀ ॥੬੯॥
Quatrain – “What is this young child saying? He is just a child but his parables are priceless.” The face of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji is like the moon and his words are like the ambrosial elixir. Those people who are listening are drinking this elixir. 69.

ਲਗੀ ਸਿਸੁਨ ਕੀ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਘਨੇਰੀ । ਸੰਗ ਨ ਤਜਹਿਂ ਰਹਹਿਂ ਮੁਖ ਹੇਰੀ ।
ਸਦਨ ਆਇਂ ਜਬ ਦੀਨਾ ਨਾਥੂ । ਸਿਸੁ ਨਹਿਂ ਤਜਹਿਂ ਰਹਹਿਂ ਹਿਤ ਸਾਥੂ ॥੭੦॥
All of the children love Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji as they do not leave him alone and stare at his radiant face. When the protector of the week Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji goes home the children do not leave him and go with him. 70.

Sri Nanak Parkash - Post 063

Above is an image of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji surrounded by his companions.

Below are the translated ten stanzas from the fifth Adhyai of the Sri Nanak Parkash. The stanzas are numbered fifty one to sixty. In these the demi gods have come to earth and have placed Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji on a throne and worshipping him. Mata Tripta Ji is a witness to what is going on. The detail of events is given below;

ਤਾਂ ਪਰ ਹੇਰਾ ਨਿਜ ਸੁਤ ਬੈਸਾ । ਸ਼ੋਭਾ ਕੋਟ ਕਾਮ ਨਹਿਂ ਤੈਸਾ ।
ਨਿਰਜੁਰ ਜਜਹਿਂ ਅੰਜੁਲੀ ਜੋਰੀ । ਭਨਤਿ ਬਿਨੈ, ਮਨ ਪ੍ਰੀਤ ਨ ਥੋਰੀ ॥੫੧॥
She saw that her son, Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji was sat on the throne. He looked so beautiful that an infinite number of Kamdev (the demi god of love) could not equate to the beauty. The demi gods are clasping their hands and worshipping Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. They are making numerous loving supplications to the Guru. 51.

Couplet – They are praising the Guru and are shouting, “Be victorious”. They are all saying to Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, “You are pure, complete and divine Lord who is endless.” 52.

ਚੌਪਈ ।
ਧਰ ਅਲੰਬ ਕੇ ਦੇਵਨ ਹੇਤੂ । ਪ੍ਰਗਟੇ ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਬੇਦੀ ਕੁਲਕੇਤੂ ! ।

Quatrain – “In order to give the earth some support you have taken form in the lineage of the Bedi clan. You have come to manifest the remembrance and meditation of the Lords name. You are also manifest to destroy sin, falsehood and enemies of righteousness.” 53.

ਕਲਿ ਮਹਿਂ ਪਾਵਨ ਪੰਥ ਨਰਨ ਕੋ । ਪ੍ਰਦ ਸਤਿਸੰਗਤ ਜਗਤ ਤਰਨ ਕੋ ।
ਨਾਮ ਜਪਾਵਨ ਧ੍ਯਾਨ ਚਰਨ ਕੋ । ਭਗਤਨ ਦੁਖ ਹਾ ਜਨਮ ਮਰਨ ਕੋ ॥੫੪॥
Quatrain – “O Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji you are the one who is going to guide the beings in the age of Kaljug by bringing them into the true congregation (Satsangat). You have manifest to meditate on the name of God and to focus on his feet while eradicating the cycle of transmigration for your saints.” 54.

ਦੇਨਿ ਆਸਰਾ ਏਕ ਸ਼ਰਨ ਕੋ । ਕੁਮਤਿ ਕੁਚਾਲ ਕੁਕਰਮ ਹਰਨ ਕੋ ।
ਪੀਰ ਮੀਰ ਸਿਧ ਦਰਪ ਛਰਨ ਕੋ । ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ ਦੇ ਜਾਪ ਰਰਨ ਕੋ ' ॥੫੫॥
“You have come to provide support and shelter while at the same time you eradicate ignorance and bad actions from being committed. You will destroy the ego of the rulers and Sidhs whilst propagating the recitation of the incantation of ‘Waheguru’”. 55.

Couplet – For this reason Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji you manifest into the world and the demi gods continued to praise him in this manner. After they had worshipped Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji they returned to their abodes from where they initially came from. 56.

ਚੌਪਈ ।
ਅਚਰਜ ਭਈ ਹੇਰਿ ਕਰਿ ਮਾਤਾ । ਜਾਨੀ ਪਰੈ ਨ ਗਤਿ ਨਿਜ ਤਾਤ ।
ਭਯੋ ਰਿਦੇ ਮਹਿਂ ਸੰਭ੍ਰਮ ਜਾਗੀ । ਸੁਤ ਅਵੈਵ ਸਭਿ ਦੇਖਨਿ ਲਾਗੀ ॥੫੭॥
Quatrain – Mata Tripta Ji on seeing the dream was shocked and is unable to understand or recognise her son’s glory. When she woke up she doubted what she had witnessed and started looking at the limbs of her son. 57.

ਚੰਦਨ ਸੋਂ ਚਰਚਤਿ ਹੈਂ ਸਾਰੇ । ਬਹੁ ਸੁੰਗਧਿ ਸੋਂ ਜਜੇ ਨਿਹਾਰੇ ।
ਸੰਭ੍ਰਮ ਮਨ, ਨਹਿਂ ਥਿਰਤਾ ਹੋਈ । ਕਿਧੌਂ ਸਾਚਿ ਕੈ ਸੁਪਨਾ ਸੋਈ ॥੫੮॥
Upon inspection she found that her son had sandalwood sprinkled all over him due to this all the limbs were fragranced. Mata Tripta Ji could not understand what had actually occurred she wonders was it real or actually a dream. 58

ਰਿਦੈ ਵਿਚਾਰਤਿ ਆਰਤ ਮਾਤਾ । ਨਿਰਨੈ ਹੋਇ ਨ ਏਕੈ ਬਾਤਾ ।
ਸੁਤ ਕੀ ਮਹਿਮਾ ਮਨ ਮਹਿਂ ਮਾਨੀ । ਇਹ ਅਵਤਾਰ ਸੱਤਿ ਚਿਤ ਜਾਨੀ ॥੫੯॥
Mata Tripta Ji is deliberating on the event in her heart and has become worried as she does not know if the incident really occurred or was an imaginative experience. She has however realised the glory of her son and accepts that he is the manifestation of the Lord. 59.

Sri Nanak Parkash - Post 062

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

Thankfully I have some time today to put two posts up quickly on the translations of the Sri Nanak Parkash. Below are translated the stanzas numbered forty one to fifty within which Pandit Hardayal Ji explains the glory of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji and later commences the story of the demi gods glorifying and commemorating the great manifestation of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. The translations are below;

ਬਾਲਿਕ ਕੇ ਸਨਬੰਧੀ ਜੇਤੇ । ਮਹਿਮਾ ਲਖਿ ਨ ਸਕਹਿਂਗੇ ਤੇਤੇ ।
ਅਵਰ ਅਨੇਕ ਮਨੁਜ ਵਰੁਸਾਵਹਿਂ । ਕੋਇਕ ਸਨਬੰਧੀ ਸੁਖ ਪਾਵਹਿ ॥੪੧॥
“All of the family of this child will not realise the glory of this child. However infinite others will benefit from the glory of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Only some of the family will gain anything from the child as they will be unable to grasp his values.” 41.

ਹੋਇ ਤਰੁਨ ਜਬ ਵਧਹਿ ਪ੍ਰਤਾਪਾ । ਜਿਉਂ ਬਾਵਨ ਤ੍ਰੈ ਲੋਕਨ ਮਾਪਾ ।
ਪੀਰ ਮੀਰ ਮਾਨਹਿਂਗੇ ਆਨਾ । ਜਿਉਂ ਗੋਕਲ ਮਥੁਰਾ ਭਗਵਾਨਾ ॥੪੨॥
“When he comes into adolescence his fame will continue to grow in the way the Bavan manifestation controlled the three domains in one moment and grew to a gigantic form in an instant. The Kings and the saints will follow your son in the way the residents of Mathura accepted Sri Krishna.” 42.

ਰਾਮਚੰਦ ਸੇ ਗੁਨ ਇਨ ਮਾਹੀ । ਬ੍ਰਿੱਧ ਹੋਹਿਂ ਤਬ ਲਿਹੁ ਪਤਿਆਹੀ ।
ਹੋਇਂ ਅਚਾਰਜ ਬ੍ਯਾਸ ਸਮਾਨੇ । ਮਾਨਵ ਧੰਨ, ਜਿ ਮਨ ਕਰਿ ਮਾਨੇਂ ॥੪੩॥
“He will have the virtue of being the epitome of righteousness like Sri Ram Chandar and you will understand this when he is older. He will be knowledgeable like Rishi Vyas and those who accept him will be ones with great fortune and destiny.” 43.

ਦੋਹਰਾ ।
ਸੁਤ ਪਰ ਸ਼ਰਧਾ ਉਰ ਕਰਹੁ ਦਰਬ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਹਰਿ ਕੂਰ ।
ਪਰਮ ਰੂਪ ਪਰਮਾਤਮਾ ਚਿਦੰ ਚਾਰਚਰ ਮੂਰ ॥੪੪॥
Couplet – “Have faith in your son and forget about the love you have for false material possessions. He is the grand form of the Lord who is both the root of the insentient and conscious forms.” 44.

ਚੌਪਈ ।
ਹਿਤ ਪ੍ਰਦ ਬਿੱਪ੍ਰਹਿ ਕੀ ਬਰਬਾਨੀ । ਮੁਖ ਬਲ ਅਸੁ ਕਵਿਕਾ ਜਿਵ ਮਾਨੀ ।
ਅਰਣਵ ਅਮੀ ਕੀਰਤੀ ਦ੍ਯਾਲਾ । ਦਿਜ ਕੀ ਉਕਤਿ ਸੁ ਮੁਕਤਨ ਮਾਲਾ ॥੪੫॥
Quatrain – The words of Pandit Hardayal Ji were great for Baba Kalu Ji and he accepted only some of it as the horse forcefully accepts it reins into its mouth. The praise of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji is like the ocean of ambrosial elixir. The words of Pandit Hardayal Ji are great like a pearled rosary. 45.

ਸਾਕ ਬਣਕ ਜਿਉਂ ਕੀਮਤਿ ਤਾਂਹੀ । ਨਹਿਂ ਜਾਨੀ ਕਾਲੂ ਮਨ ਮਾਂਹੀ ।
ਨਿਜ ਨਿਕੇਤ ਕੋ ਪੁਨ ਚਲਿ ਆਯੋ । ਜਗਤ ਕਾਜ ਹਿਰਦਾ ਬਿਰਮਾਯੋ ॥੪੬॥
In a way a vegetable salesman does not know the value of the elixir or pearls so it the same for Baba Kalu Ji accepting the virtues and praise of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Baba Kalu Ji does not accept these words to describe his son. Baba Kalu Ji then returned home and continued with his worldly work. 46.

ਬਹੁਰੋ ਅਸਤ ਅਹਿਰਪਤਿ ਭਯੋ । ਭਈ ਬਿਭਾਵਰ ਗੁਰੁ ਗ੍ਰਿਹ ਅਯੋ ।
ਹੇਰਤਿ ਮਾਤ ਰੂਪ ਬਲਿ ਜਾਵਹਿ । ਪਾਨ ਆਪਨੇ ਭੋਜ ਖੁਵਾਵਹਿ ॥੪੭॥
Later that day the sun set and Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji returned home. Mata Tripta Ji on seeing her son becomes exalted and feeds him with her own hands. 47.

ਸਵਾ ਜਾਮ ਜਬ ਰਹੀ ਤ੍ਰਿਜਾਮਾ । ਜਨਨੀ ਸੁਪਨਾ ਪਿਖ ਅਭਿਰਾਮਾ ।
ਸੁੰਦਰ ਦੁਤਿ ਬ੍ਰਿੰਦਾਰਕ ਬ੍ਰਿੰਦਾ । ਮਿਲ ਕਰਿ ਆਏ ਕਰਤਿ ਅਨੰਦਾ ॥੪੯॥
Quatrain – When there was only one and a quarter Pehirs left the Mata Tripta Ji had a great dream. The beautiful demi gods were all in her house celebrating. 49.

ਮੰਜਲ ਕੁਸਮਾਂਜੁਲ ਮਲਿਯਾਗਰ । ਕਰ ਕਪੂਰ ਬਰ ਗੰਧਿ ਉਜਾਗਰ ।
ਦੇਖਾ ਏਕ ਸਿੰਘਾਸਨ ਸੁੰਦਰ । ਸੂਚੇ ਮਾਣਿਕ ਗਚ ਰੁਚਿਰੰਦਰ ॥੫੦॥
They were throwing the petals from the Kalapbrich from both of their hands and throwing the fragrance of sandalwood. All these fine fragrances were being thrown in the house over Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. In the middle of the room is a beautiful throne which is encrusted with white pearls. 50.

Sri Nanak Parkash - Post 061

Above is an image of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji with Bhai Mardana, Bhai Bala and the nine other Sikh Gurus. Also in the picture is an unknown Sikh.

Below is the translation of the stanzas numbered thirty one to fourty of the fifth Adhyai of the Sri Nanak Parkash within which Baba Kalu Ji goes to the home of Pandit Hardayal Ji as he is skeptical about the prediction made about Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji on his birth. The translation is below;

ਚੌਪਈ ।
ਪੌਛਤਿ ਈਛਨ ਸ੍ਵਛਾਂਨਨ ਛਬਿ । ਛਕੀ ਮੋਹ ਮੈਂ ਪਿਖਿ ਜਨਨੀ ਤਬ ।
ਪਸਚਾਤਾਪ ਕਰਤਿ ਚਿਤ ਮਾਂਹੀ । ਹਮਰੇ ਦਸਨ ਏਕ ਸੁਤ ਆਹੀ ॥੩੧॥
Quatrain – Mata Tripta Ji is using a beautiful piece of cloth to wipe the tears from Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s eyes. She has become engrossed with attachment for the child and in her mind is regretting her actions towards the child. She is thinking to herself, ‘God has only blessed our family with one son.’ 31.

ਬਾਲ ਬੈਸ ਇਹ ਆਪਨ ਪਰ ਕੋ । ਹਾਨ ਲਾਭ ਨਹਿਂ ਜਾਨਹਿ ਘਰ ਕੋ ।
ਵਡੋ ਹੋਇ ਸਮਝਹਿ ਸਭਿ ਰੀਤੀ । ਅਬ ਡਰਪਾਵਨ ਕੀ ਨਹਿਂ ਨੀਤੀ ॥੩੨॥
The child is still of young age and has no know what is his and isn’t. He does not seem to have any attachment to the items we have at home. When he is older he will understand all of this for this reason it is not good to frighten him. 32.

ਉਰ ਵਿਚਾਰ ਕਰਿ ਇਹ ਬਿਧਿ ਮਾਤਾ । ਤਜ੍ਯੋ ਅੰਕ ਤੇ ਹਿਤ ਕਰਿ ਤਾਤਾ ।
ਖੇਲਨ ਲਗੇ ਬਾਲਿਕਨ ਮਾਂਹੀ । ਜਿਹਕੇ ਦਰਸ਼ਨ ਦੋਖ ਨ ਸਾਹੀਂ ॥੩੩॥
In this way Mata Tripta Ji deliberated in her heart and lovingly let him go from her lap. Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji then left and started to play with the other children. A glimpse of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji is able to eradicate all pains that a person can suffer. 33.

ਕਾਲੂ ਲੱਛਨ ਦੇਖਿ ਅਸਿ, ਦੈਵਗ ਵਾਕ ਸੰਭਾਰ ।
ਗਿਨਤ ਗਟੀ ਉਰ ਅਟਪਟੀ, ਤਿਹ ਕੇ ਗਯੋ ਅਗਾਰ ॥੩੪॥
Couplet – by seeing the characteristics of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji his father Baba Kalu Ji remembers the advice of Pandit Hardayal Ji. Whilst wrestling with his thoughts in his mind Baba Kalu Ji arrived at the house of Pandit Hardayal Ji. 34.

ਚੌਪਈ ।
ਦਿਜ ਕੋ ਦੇਖਿ ਬਦਨ ਤੇ ਬੋਲ੍ਯੋ । 'ਭਲੋ ਆਪ ਨੈ ਜੋਤਿਸ਼ ਟੋਲ੍ਯੋ ।
ਤੁਮਰੋ ਕਹ੍ਯੋ ਨ ਫੁਰ ਭਾ ਏਕੂ । ਬਰਨਨ ਕੀਨੇ ਗੁਨ ਜੁ ਅਨੇਕੂ ॥੩੫॥
Quatrain – When Baba Kalu Ji met Pandit Hardayal Ji he said the following, “It was good that you checked the astrological signs on the birth of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji however not even one of the things you said about my son has come true. You praised my son and said he would have infinite virtues.” 35.

ਤਿਹ ਕੇ ਲੱਛਨ ਤੇ ਮੈਂ ਜਾਨੀ । ਧਨ ਹਾਨੀ ਹਇ, ਮਨ ਅਨੁਮਾਨੀ ।
ਭਲੋ ਛਤਰ ਮੁਝ ਧਾਮ ਫਿਰਾਯੋ । ਅਗਲੀ ਦੀਨੀ ਵਸਤੁ ਗਵਾਯੋ ॥੩੬॥
“From seeing the child’s characteristics I have come to the following conclusion that this child will lose the wealth of the household. You said that a canopy would be held on top of my son’s head however he is already losing the initial possession in the house which God has already granted.” 36.

ਜੋ ਲੇਵਹਿ ਸੋ ਜਾਇ ਗਵਾਵਹਿ । ਬੂਜਹਿਂ ਜੇ, ਨਹਿਂ ਕਛੂ ਬਤਾਵਹਿ ।
ਗਨਨਾ ਗਿਨੀ ਗੁਨੀ, ਨਿਰਗੁਨੀ । ਤੁਮ ਗੁਨਵਾਨ, ਭਨੀ ਅਨਬਨੀ ॥੩੭॥
“Whatever he picks up he loses. If we are to ask him about the said item he does not tell us anything. From what you stated that my son was to have numerous virtues if you look at him it seems he actually has no virtues. You seem to me a person with great knowledge however everything you said has turned out to be completely wrong.” 37.

ਦੋਹਰਾ ।
ਮਨ ਹਰਖਾਵਨ ਕੇ ਨਮਿਤ, ਮੁਝ ਸੋਂ ਕਿਧੋਂ ਸਨੁਾਇ ।

ਚੌਪਈ ।
ਸੁਨਿ ਕਰਿ ਦਿਜਬਰ ਕਾਲੂ ਬਾਨੀ । ਹੁਤੀ ਅਸ਼ਰਧਾ ਮਹਿਂ ਲਪਟਾਨੀ ।
ਤਿਸੁ ਉਰ ਸ਼ਰਧਾ ਦੇਵਨ ਹੇਤੂ । ਬੋਲ੍ਯੋ ਬਚਨ ਬਿੱਪ੍ਰ ਕੁਲਕੇਤੂ ॥੩੯॥
Quatrain – Pandit Hardayal Ji listened to the complaint which was said with complete faith by Baba Kalu Ji. Then to assure Baba Kalu Ji the great Pandit said the following; 39.

'ਇਕ ਲੱਛਨ ਮੈਂ ਤਬ ਹੀ ਹੇਰਾ । ਕਹ੍ਯੋ ਨ ਸੋ ਪਿਖਿ ਆਨਂਦ ਤੇਰਾ ।
ਪ੍ਰਗਟ ਭਯੋ, ਮੈਂ ਸੋ ਅਬ ਜਾਨ੍ਯੋ । ਜੋ ਤੋ ਸੋ ਨਹਿਂ ਤਬਹਿ ਬਖਾਨ੍ਯੋ ॥੪੦॥
“Baba Kalu Ji I realised one characteristic of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s straight away. Due to your delight at the time I did not disclose this. That characteristic has now manifested which I did not tell you about at the child’s birth. 40.

Sri Nanak Parkash - Post 060

Above is an image of the Kahrava of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji

First of all as you can see the layout of the blog has improved drastically. this is all thanks to the Nishkam Seva of Bhai Jvala Singh Ji and his brother in Canada who have given up their valuable time to redesign the layout and pictures of the blog. Not only that but the Sri Nanak Parkash posts from nineteen to thirty have all been re-edited and the gurmukhi of the Sri Nanak Parkash has been added to these posts so that the first Adhyai is almost complete with Gurmukhi online. Again the credit goes to Bhai Jvala Singh as he has typed this up on Unicode. All of this Nishkaam Seva whilst maintaining his own blog (Sikhreality) and working hard on his final year of completing a degree. What a gem this Singh is to the panthic seva whilst busy in his academic studies.

Back to the translations from the Sri Nanak Parkash now, below are the next ten stanzas from the fifth Adhyai of the Sri Nanak Parkash by Kavi Santokh Singh Ji. The stanzas below are numbered twenty one to thirty start to narrate the unique qualities of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji at the age of five years of age. At this age he showed no attachment to any material objects, instead he used to take them from the house and throw them near the poor so that it would assist them. however Mata Tripta Ji had grown angry of losing her possessions and the following events took place as shown below;

ਪਾਂਚ ਬਰਖ ਕੀ ਹੋਈ ਬੈਸਾ । ਕਰਨ ਲਗੇ ਕਾਰਜ ਪੁਨ ਐਸਾ ।
ਲੇਯ ਵਸਤੁ ਘਰ ਬਾਹਰ ਧਾਵਹਿਂ । ਜੋ ਲੇਵਹਿਂ ਸੋ ਜਾਇ ਗਵਾਵਹਿਂ ॥੨੧॥

Quatrain – Each day Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji do the same where they are merciful to those who are unfortunate. One day Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji took an expensive cooking utensil from the house and threw this in front of a poor person who he saw walking. 23.

ਮੁਰਿ ਕਰਿ ਨਿਜ ਘਰ ਆਏ ਜਬਿਹੀ । ਜਨਨੀ ਹੇਰੇ ਰੋਸੀ ਤਬ ਹੀ ।
ਬੂਝਨ ਲਗੀ 'ਕਹਾਂ ਤੈਂ ਗੇਰਾ ? । ਅਬ ਥੋ ਕਰ ਮਹਿਂ, ਭਈ ਨ ਦੇਰਾ ' ॥੨੪॥
When Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji came home Mata Tripta Ji saw that he had returned home empty handed she was very cross. She asked him, “Where have you thrown the utensil? You had it in your hand one minute and now it is gone.” 24.

ਮੁਖ ਤੇ ਕਹੈਂ ਨ ਉਤਰ ਕੋਊ । ਭਏ ਤੂਸ਼ਨੀ ਗਤਿਦਾ ਜੋਊ ।
ਕਰ ਮਹਿ ਲੇ ਲਕਰੀ ਤਬ ਮਾਤਾ । ਡਰਪਾਵਨ ਲਾਗੀ ਨਿਜ ਤਾਤਾ ॥੨੫॥
On being questioned Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji failed to reply to Mata Ji. Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji remains completely silent. Mata Tripta Ji at that point picked up a stick in order to punish Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. 25.

ਰਿਸ ਕੀਨੇ ਕਹਿਹੀ ਪੁਨ ਵਾਕੂ । 'ਬਹੁ ਔਗੁਨ ਕੀਨੇ ਇਨ ਪ੍ਰਾਕੂ ॥੨੭॥
Quatrain – At that moment Baba Lalu Ji (uncle of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji) came to the house and prevented anything happening to the Guru. Still Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s mother was still angry and continued to say, “My son has committing some mischievous acts.” 27.

ਲੇਯ ਸਦਨ ਤੇ ਵਸਤੁ ਜੁ ਹੇਰਹਿ । ਬਹੁਰ ਨ ਆਨਹਿ ਬਾਹਰ ਗੇਰਹਿ ।
ਨਿਠੁਰ ਨਿਡਰ ਸੁ ਢੀਠ ਇਸ ਜੈਸਾ । ਅਬ ਲੌ ਹੌਂ ਨ ਨਿਹਾਰ੍ਯੋ ਐਸਾ ॥੨੮॥
“Whatever item he likes in the house he takes with him and does not return it. For this reason I am not happy with this hard hearted and insensitive attitude. I have not seen another child like this.” 28.

ਪੂਰਬ ਇਨ ਬਹੁ ਵਸਤੁ ਗਵਾਈ । ਹੌਂ ਕਹਿ ਰਹੀ ਸਮਝ ਨਹਿਂ ਆਈ ।

Couplet – in this way Mata Tripta Ji made Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji understand but straight way she became full of the love and attachment she had for Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. She grabbed Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s hand and sat him in her lap. Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji is the master of mercy and piety. 30.

ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਬਾਲਾ ਸੰਧੁਰੁ ਵਾਚ ।

ਲਾਲਤਿ ਮਾਤ ਬਿਸਾਲ ਹਿਤ, ਸੂੰਘਤਿ ਬਦਨ ਮਯੰਕ ॥੨॥
Bhai Bala Ji is saying;
Couplet – Mata Tripta Ji puts the child Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji to rest in the cradle and sometimes he is being carried in another person’s arms. With great love Mata Tripta Ji takes care of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji who has a moonlike illuminating face which Mata Tripta Ji embraces and kisses. 2.

ਚੌਪਈ ।
ਆਨਨਿ ਆਰਨਜਾਤ ਨਿਹਾਰੀ । ਲੀਲ ਲਲਿਤੰ ਆਰਤ ਹਾਰੀ ।
ਲੋਚਨ ਅਮਲ ਕਮਲ ਦਲ ਜੈਸੇ । ਨਾਸਾ ਤਿਲ ਪ੍ਰਸੂਨ ਨਹਿਂ ਵੈਸੇ ॥੩॥
Quatrain – Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s face is like a lotus blossom and Mata Tripta Ji on seeing it is playing the beautiful game of life eradicating all causes of pain. Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s eyes are like the white leave of a blossom and the nose is that beautiful that the blossom cannot be even considered in comparison to it. 3.

ਸੁੰਦਰ ਅਲੰਕਾਰ ਘਰਿਵਾਏ । ਬਿਨ ਦੂਖਨ ਕੈ ਭੂਖਨ ਪਾਏ ।
ਬਨੀ ਬਾਜਨੀ ਕਿੰਕਨਿ ਚਾਰੀ । ਕਟ ਮਹਿਂ ਪਾਈ ਅਤਿ ਛਬਿ ਵਾਰੀ ॥੪॥
Mata Tripta Ji took out some beautiful ornaments and put them on Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Small bells are tied to the waist of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji and add to the glory of the child Guru. 4.

ਕਰ ਮਹਿਂ ਕਟ ਪਦ ਨੂਪਰ ਸੋਹੈਂ । ਜੋ ਦੇਖੇ ਤਿਸਕੋ ਮਨ ਮੋਹੈਂ ।
ਦੁਇ ਦੁਇ ਦਸਨ ਅਧਰ ਦੁਤਿ ਹੋਤੀ । ਸੰਪੁਟ ਬਿੱਦ੍ਰਮ ਜਿਉਂ ਜੁਗ ਮੋਤੀ ॥੫॥
On the arms of the Guru small bracelets are placed while anklets are placed on his heels. Those people who see the Guru become attached to him. The two teeth that are now in the mouth of the Guru add to his glory as if there were two pearls in a coral shell/reef. 5.

ਅੰਙਣ ਮਹਿਂ ਰਿੰਙਣ ਗਤਿਕਾਰੀ । ਚਰਣਾਂਬੁਜ ਖੈਂਚਤਿ ਬਲਿਹਾਰੀ ।

In an enclosed area Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji who is the granter of liberation have began to crawl. By crawling Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji pull their lotus feet behind him which brings joy to Mata Tripta Ji. On seeing this she laughs while Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji gives out joyful shrieks which were sweet. 6.

ਬੇਦੀ ਕੁਲ ਕੀ ਆਨਿ ਬਧੂਟੀ । ਮੂਰਤਿ ਪਿਖਿ ਜਨੁ ਆਨਂਦ ਬੂਟੀ ।

ਹੇਰਹਿ ਮਾਤ ਤਾਤ ਅਨੁਰਾਗਹਿ । ਫਿਰਤਿ ਭੂਮਿਕਾ ਮ੍ਰਿਤਕਾ ਲਾਗਹਿ ॥੮॥
When Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji stammers sweetly all the man and women find this adorable and loving. The mother seeing her son loves him and when Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji crawls the dirt from the earth attaches itself to him. 8

ਲਗੀ ਧੂਰ ਤਨ ਧੂਸਰ ਹੋਏ । ਅੰਬ ਲੇਯ ਅੰਬਾ ਅੰਗ ਧੋਏ ।
ਮਲਿ ਕਰਿ ਮੁਖ ਮੱਜਨ ਕਰਿਵਾਯੋ । ਪੌਂਛ ਸਰੀਰ ਅੰਕ ਬੈਸਾਯੋ ॥੯॥
When the dirt attaches to the child it makes his complexion dirty so Mata Tripta Ji washes his limbs with water. She washes his body, clothes him then carries him again in her arms. 9.

Sri Nanak Parkash - Post 057

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

Right we now start the fifth Adhyai of the Sri Nanak Parkash. I am going to just translate the initial stanza in this Adhyai and hopefully make some time later to add more. The first stanza in this Adhyai is based on two lines in the Sri Jap Ji Sahib. The lines are ਗੁਰੁ ਈਸਰੁ ਗੁਰੁ ਗੋਰਖੁ ਬਰਮਾ ਗੁਰੁ ਪਾਰਬਤੀ ਮਾਈ ॥ and ਏਕਾ ਮਾਈ ਜੁਗਤਿ ਵਿਆਈ ਤਿਨਿ ਚੇਲੇ ਪਰਵਾਣੁ ॥ ਇਕੁ ਸੰਸਾਰੀ ਇਕੁ ਭੰਡਾਰੀ ਇਕੁ ਲਾਏ ਦੀਬਾਣੁ ॥ This stanza from the fifth Adhyai is the invocation and mirrors the sentiments laid out in the two lines from the Sri Jap Ji Sahib. The stanza is translated below;

Adhyai 05

ਕਬਿੱਤ ।
ਬਿਧਿ ਸੇ ਵੈਰਾਗ ਪ੍ਰਦ, ਹਰਿ ਸੇ ਗਿਆਨ ਪਾਲ ਸ਼ਿਵ ਸੇ ਬਿਕਾਰ ਨਾਸ਼ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਦਾਸ ਕੇ ।
ਸੀਤਕਰ ਜੈਸੇ ਸੀਤ ਕਰਿ ਸੋ ਬਿਸ਼ਾਗਨਿ ਤੇ ਤਿਮਰ ਹਰਨ ਸੇ ਤਿਮਰ ਮੋਹ ਫਾਂਸ ਕੇ ।
ਧਾਮ ਰਿਦੈ ਸ਼ੁੱਧ ਮੱਧ ਦੀਪਕ ਸੇ ਦੀਪ ਦਿਪੈ ਮਾਯਾ ਭਿੰਨ ਜੀਵ ਕੋ ਦਿਖਾਵੈਂ ਸੁ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਸ ਕੇ ।
ਚਰਨ ਸ਼ਰਨ ਕਰ ਪਰਨ, ਹਰਨ ਡਰ ਤਾਰਨ ਤਰਨ ਅਰਨਵ ਭਵ ਨਾਸ਼ ਕੇ ॥੧॥
Kabit – (This invocation to Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji is similar to the details given on the fifth and thirtieth stanza of the Sri Jap Ji Sahib). Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji is similar to Brahma and can propagate both the virtues of dispassion and knowledge in the heart of a devotee. Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji is similar to Vishnu in the way he nourishes the virtue of knowledge in the heart of the devotee. Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji is similar to Shiva in the way he destroys the vices in the heart of the devotee. In the way the moon is able to sooth with its rays so can Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji sooth the heat from the vices of sin in the heart of an individual. In the way the sun dispels darkness Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji is able to dispel the noose of attachment from the heart of the devotee. In the way a diva can illuminate a room so can the light of knowledge Guru Nanak Dev Ji places in the mind of an individual. Once the mind becomes enlightened it eradicates Maya and one is able to see the truth about the existence. If a person is to adopt the shelter of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s feet then they will become liberated from the cycle of births and deaths. Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji is like the ship who can ferry a person across the worldly ocean to safety. 1.
