Below is the third Shabad found in the Sri Nanak Parkash which was given as an updesh by Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji to Pandit Hardayal Ji.

The shabad is below which can be found on Ang (limb/page) 471 of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

ਸਲੋਕੁ ਮਃ ੧ ॥ ਦਇਆ ਕਪਾਹ ਸੰਤੋਖੁ ਸੂਤੁ ਜਤੁ ਗੰਢੀ ਸਤੁ ਵਟੁ ॥ ਏਹੁ ਜਨੇਊ ਜੀਅ ਕਾ ਹਈ ਤ ਪਾਡੇ ਘਤੁ ॥ ਨਾ ਏਹੁ ਤੁਟੈ ਨ ਮਲੁ ਲਗੈ ਨਾ ਏਹੁ ਜਲੈ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥ ਧੰਨੁ ਸੁ ਮਾਣਸ ਨਾਨਕਾ ਜੋ ਗਲਿ ਚਲੇ ਪਾਇ ॥ ਚਉਕੜਿ ਮੁਲਿ ਅਣਾਇਆ ਬਹਿ ਚਉਕੈ ਪਾਇਆ ॥ ਸਿਖਾ ਕੰਨਿ ਚੜਾਈਆ ਗੁਰੁ ਬ੍ਰਾਹਮਣੁ ਥਿਆ ॥ ਓਹੁ ਮੁਆ ਓਹੁ ਝੜਿ ਪਇਆ ਵੇਤਗਾ ਗਇਆ ॥੧॥
ਮਃ ੧ ॥ ਲਖ ਚੋਰੀਆ ਲਖ ਜਾਰੀਆ ਲਖ ਕੂੜੀਆ ਲਖ ਗਾਲਿ ॥ ਲਖ ਠਗੀਆ ਪਹਿਨਾਮੀਆ ਰਾਤਿ ਦਿਨਸੁ ਜੀਅ ਨਾਲਿ ॥ ਤਗੁ ਕਪਾਹਹੁ ਕਤੀਐ ਬਾਮ੍ਹ੍ਹਣੁ ਵਟੇ ਆਇ ॥ ਕੁਹਿ ਬਕਰਾ ਰਿੰਨ੍ਹ੍ਹਿ ਖਾਇਆ ਸਭੁ ਕੋ ਆਖੈ ਪਾਇ ॥ ਹੋਇ ਪੁਰਾਣਾ ਸੁਟੀਐ ਭੀ ਫਿਰਿ ਪਾਈਐ ਹੋਰੁ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਤਗੁ ਨ ਤੁਟਈ ਜੇ ਤਗਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਜੋਰੁ ॥੨॥
ਮਃ ੧ ॥ ਨਾਇ ਮੰਨਿਐ ਪਤਿ ਊਪਜੈ ਸਾਲਾਹੀ ਸਚੁ ਸੂਤੁ ॥ ਦਰਗਹ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਈਐ ਤਗੁ ਨ ਤੂਟਸਿ ਪੂਤ ॥੩॥

Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji explain on the metaphorical sacred thread one should adopt rather than the materialistic one

ਸਲੋਕੁ ਮਃ ੧ ॥
This stanza is uttered by the Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji

ਦਇਆ ਕਪਾਹ ਸੰਤੋਖੁ ਸੂਤੁ ਜਤੁ ਗੰਢੀ ਸਤੁ ਵਟੁ ॥
To have mercy over all the beings on the earth is like cotton, to adopt an attitude of content is the cotton thread and to adopt the truth is the intertwining of the thread. Make modesty the knot in the thread to bind them.

ਏਹੁ ਜਨੇਊ ਜੀਅ ਕਾ ਹਈ ਤ ਪਾਡੇ ਘਤੁ ॥
O Pandit Hardayal Ji, if you have this type of sacred thread with you then please place it around my neck.

ਨਾ ਏਹੁ ਤੁਟੈ ਨ ਮਲੁ ਲਗੈ ਨਾ ਏਹੁ ਜਲੈ ਨ ਜਾਇ ॥
This sacred thread made of knowledge never breaks nor does it get ruined through the dirt of sin. This sacred thread is not affected by the fire of desire and forever remains with the individual whichever life he endures.

ਧੰਨੁ ਸੁ ਮਾਣਸ ਨਾਨਕਾ ਜੋ ਗਲਿ ਚਲੇ ਪਾਇ ॥
That being is blessed whoever gets this knowledge based sacred thread placed around their neck and goes to the next world.

ਚਉਕੜਿ ਮੁਲਿ ਅਣਾਇਆ ਬਹਿ ਚਉਕੈ ਪਾਇਆ ॥
The sacred thread in the age of Satjug cost four Pouliya (small coin worth 25 paisas), in the age of Treta it cost four Annas (small coin worth a sixteenth of a rupee), in the age of Dwapur it cost four paisas (a small coin of which 100 made a rupee) and in the age of Kaljug it costs four Koudia (small coin used in medieval India). The Pandit takes the value of the sacred thread, sits in the sacred area, recites a prayer to the demi god Ganesh and puts the thread around the neck of the recipient.

ਸਿਖਾ ਕੰਨਿ ਚੜਾਈਆ ਗੁਰੁ ਬ੍ਰਾਹਮਣੁ ਥਿਆ ॥
In the ears of the recipient they give instructions and teachings that is one if to pass urine or waste then they are to place the thread over their ears. By explaining such a short amount the Brahmin becomes the individual’s spiritual master.

ਓਹੁ ਮੁਆ ਓਹੁ ਝੜਿ ਪਇਆ ਵੇਤਗਾ ਗਇਆ ॥੧॥
When the being later gets old man dies then the sacred thread burns on the fire and in the next world the being is left without the sacred thread. 1.

ਮਃ ੧ ॥
By Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji


ਲਖ ਚੋਰੀਆ ਲਖ ਜਾਰੀਆ ਲਖ ਕੂੜੀਆ ਲਖ ਗਾਲਿ ॥
Whilst wearing the sacred thread the individual commits numerous thefts and acts of adultery. The being commits numerous false promises, lies and says abusive words.

ਲਖ ਠਗੀਆ ਪਹਿਨਾਮੀਆ ਰਾਤਿ ਦਿਨਸੁ ਜੀਅ ਨਾਲਿ ॥
The being commits numerous falsehoods and both day and night commit other deceitful acts.

ਤਗੁ ਕਪਾਹਹੁ ਕਤੀਐ ਬਾਮ੍ਹ੍ਹਣੁ ਵਟੇ ਆਇ ॥
They cut the cotton to make the thread which they take to the Brahmin so that it can be intertwined.

ਕੁਹਿ ਬਕਰਾ ਰਿੰਨ੍ਹ੍ਹਿ ਖਾਇਆ ਸਭੁ ਕੋ ਆਖੈ ਪਾਇ ॥
The goat is then killed and cooked for all the people to eat at the ceremony. At that moment everyone says to put the sacred thread around the neck of the individual.

ਹੋਇ ਪੁਰਾਣਾ ਸੁਟੀਐ ਭੀ ਫਿਰਿ ਪਾਈਐ ਹੋਰੁ ॥
When this sacred thread becomes old then it is discarded and thrown away. Then this sacred thread is replaced again and again.

ਨਾਨਕ ਤਗੁ ਨ ਤੁਟਈ ਜੇ ਤਗਿ ਹੋਵੈ ਜੋਰੁ ॥੨॥
Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji says the sacred thread will not break if it has power within it. 2.

ਮਃ ੧ ॥
By Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji

ਨਾਇ ਮੰਨਿਐ ਪਤਿ ਊਪਜੈ ਸਾਲਾਹੀ ਸਚੁ ਸੂਤੁ ॥
By listening to the name of God one should sow this seed in their mind, be belief will be the propagating leaves and the contemplation will be the cotton grown which is the truth. Use this cotton in order to make the sacred thread.

ਦਰਗਹ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਈਐ ਤਗੁ ਨ ਤੂਟਸਿ ਪੂਤ ॥੩॥
In this way the sacred thread is the form of divine knowledge which can be worn in the heaven which is the true congregation. This sacred thread never breaks. 3.

Through this discourse Pandit Hardayal Ji adopted the true sacred thread of knowledge which he placed around his heart.

ਹਕਾ ਕਬੀਰ ਕਰੀਮ ਤੂ ਬੇਐਬ ਪਰਵਦਗਾਰ ॥੧॥
O God you are the granter of sustenance. You are true, merciful and the greatest of all. O Lord you are the one who is exempt of undesirable qualities but still what are you like? 1.

ਦੁਨੀਆ ਮੁਕਾਮੇ ਫਾਨੀ ਤਹਕੀਕ ਦਿਲ ਦਾਨੀ ॥
In my heart I have adopted one evaluation which is that this world is all destructible and false.

ਮਮ ਸਰ ਮੂਇ ਅਜਰਾਈਲ ਗਿਰਫਤਹ ਦਿਲ ਹੇਚਿ ਨ ਦਾਨੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
I have not really understood anything within my heart. The angels of death have grabbed me by my hair but I have not realised and never though about my grave. 1. Pause.

ਜਨ ਪਿਸਰ ਪਦਰ ਬਿਰਾਦਰਾਂ ਕਸ ਨੇਸ ਦਸਤੰਗੀਰ ॥
O beloved in my final moments not my wife, my sons, my brother or my father will hold me by the hand.

ਆਖਿਰ ਬਿਅਫਤਮ ਕਸ ਨ ਦਾਰਦ ਚੂੰ ਸਵਦ ਤਕਬੀਰ ॥੨॥
When you are grabbed like a goat then in that moment there will be no one to assist you. Now tell me what your situation will be like at that moment? 2.

ਸਬ ਰੋਜ ਗਸਤਮ ਦਰ ਹਵਾ ਕਰਦੇਮ ਬਦੀ ਖਿਆਲ ॥
O true King, day and night I am trapped in a constant wave of my own thoughts.

ਗਾਹੇ ਨ ਨੇਕੀ ਕਾਰ ਕਰਦਮ ਮਮ ੲ‍ਂ‍ੀ ਚਿਨੀ ਅਹਵਾਲ ॥੩॥
O true King I have never performed any good actions or deeds. For this reason understand me to be like this; 3.

ਬਦਬਖਤ ਹਮ ਚੁ ਬਖੀਲ ਗਾਫਿਲ ਬੇਨਜਰ ਬੇਬਾਕ ॥
I am one with great misfortune, envious, blind and my mind is fearless. In my mind I never have any fear for you O Lord. There is no other insolent or ignorant being like me.

ਨਾਨਕ ਬੁਗੋਯਦ ਜਨੁ ਤੁਰਾ ਤੇਰੇ ਚਾਕਰਾਂ ਪਾ ਖਾਕ ॥੪॥੧॥
Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji is saying, I am making such a plea that I require the dust from the feet of your devotees or worshippers.4.1.

Through this discourse the Mulla was exalted and liberated.

The ithaasak translation is taken from a steek called Gagar Cho Sagar written by Sachkhand Vasi Mahant Surjit Singh Ji Sevapanthi. Each time a shabad is found in the Sri Nanak Parkash I will translate the meanings from this granth at the end of the Adhyai. The first is below which can be found on Ang (limb/page) 16 of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

ਸਿਰੀਰਾਗੁ ਮਹਲੁ ੧ ॥ ਜਾਲਿ ਮੋਹੁ ਘਸਿ ਮਸੁ ਕਰਿ ਮਤਿ ਕਾਗਦੁ ਕਰਿ ਸਾਰੁ ॥ ਭਾਉ ਕਲਮ ਕਰਿ ਚਿਤੁ ਲੇਖਾਰੀ ਗੁਰ ਪੁਛਿ ਲਿਖੁ ਬੀਚਾਰੁ ॥ ਲਿਖੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਸਾਲਾਹ ਲਿਖੁ ਲਿਖੁ ਅੰਤੁ ਨ ਪਾਰਾਵਾਰੁ ॥੧॥ ਬਾਬਾ ਏਹੁ ਲੇਖਾ ਲਿਖਿ ਜਾਣੁ ॥ ਜਿਥੈ ਲੇਖਾ ਮੰਗੀਐ ਤਿਥੈ ਹੋਇ ਸਚਾ ਨੀਸਾਣੁ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥ ਜਿਥੈ ਮਿਲਹਿ ਵਡਿਆਈਆ ਸਦ ਖੁਸੀਆ ਸਦ ਚਾਉ ॥ ਤਿਨ ਮੁਖਿ ਟਿਕੇ ਨਿਕਲਹਿ ਜਿਨ ਮਨਿ ਸਚਾ ਨਾਉ ॥ ਕਰਮਿ ਮਿਲੈ ਤਾ ਪਾਈਐ ਨਾਹੀ ਗਲੀ ਵਾਉ ਦੁਆਉ ॥੨॥ ਇਕਿ ਆਵਹਿ ਇਕਿ ਜਾਹਿ ਉਠਿ ਰਖੀਅਹਿ ਨਾਵ ਸਲਾਰ ॥ ਇਕਿ ਉਪਾਏ ਮੰਗਤੇ ਇਕਨਾ ਵਡੇ ਦਰਵਾਰ ॥ ਅਗੈ ਗਇਆ ਜਾਣੀਐ ਵਿਣੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਵੇਕਾਰ ॥੩॥ ਭੈ ਤੇਰੈ ਡਰੁ ਅਗਲਾ ਖਪਿ ਖਪਿ ਛਿਜੈ ਦੇਹ ॥ ਨਾਵ ਜਿਨਾ ਸੁਲਤਾਨ ਖਾਨ ਹੋਦੇ ਡਿਠੇ ਖੇਹ ॥ ਨਾਨਕ ਉਠੀ ਚਲਿਆ ਸਭਿ ਕੂੜੇ ਤੁਟੇ ਨੇਹ ॥੪॥੬॥

ਸਿਰੀਰਾਗੁ ਮਹਲੁ ੧ ॥
This hymn is composed in the musical measure of Sirīrāg by the first King (Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji)
In this hymn Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji are giving a discourse to Gopal Pandhay on the writing the praise of the Lord.

Question (Gopal Pandhay) – “Can the praise of the Lords name be written down if there was enough paper, ink and pens? Please tell me what type of ink is required? What type of paper and what type of pen?”

Answer
ਜਾਲਿ ਮੋਹੁ ਘਸਿ ਮਸੁ ਕਰਿ ਮਤਿ ਕਾਗਦੁ ਕਰਿ ਸਾਰੁ ॥ ਭਾਉ ਕਲਮ ਕਰਿ ਚਿਤੁ ਲੇਖਾਰੀ ਗੁਰ ਪੁਛਿ ਲਿਖੁ ਬੀਚਾਰੁ ॥
All family members and friends should burn the vice of attachment. The deliberation on the matter or meditation is the grinding of the ink. Make the superior intellect your paper, love your pen, the pure conscious the writer and then ask the questions to the true spiritual master and gain the details of truth and falsehood through deliberation and writes these down.

ਲਿਖੁ ਨਾਮੁ ਸਾਲਾਹ ਲਿਖੁ ਲਿਖੁ ਅੰਤੁ ਨ ਪਾਰਾਵਾਰੁ ॥੧॥
Write the name of the Lord down on the paper along with his praise. Then write down that the lord has no end as no one can gain the complete grasp or knowledge of the divine lord. 1.

ਬਾਬਾ ਏਹੁ ਲੇਖਾ ਲਿਖਿ ਜਾਣੁ ॥
O Gopal Pandhay you should also write this account down.

ਜਿਥੈ ਲੇਖਾ ਮੰਗੀਐ ਤਿਥੈ ਹੋਇ ਸਚਾ ਨੀਸਾਣੁ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
When the soul enters the divine court his account is requested. At this place the name of God that has been meditated upon is the only true item that is accepted. 1. Pause.

ਜਿਥੈ ਮਿਲਹਿ ਵਡਿਆਈਆ ਸਦ ਖੁਸੀਆ ਸਦ ਚਾਉ ॥
Wherever you go you will gain praise, remain in bliss and your mind will remain in a state of enthusiasm.

ਤਿਨ ਮੁਖਿ ਟਿਕੇ ਨਿਕਲਹਿ ਜਿਨ ਮਨਿ ਸਚਾ ਨਾਉ ॥
O Gopal Pandhay, the individual who has the true name of God within their mind they will gain a sacred mark on their forehead indicating fame. These individual become the greatest of all.

ਕਰਮਿ ਮਿਲੈ ਤਾ ਪਾਈਐ ਨਾਹੀ ਗਲੀ ਵਾਉ ਦੁਆਉ ॥੨॥
The previous great acts grant the reward of the true name of the Lord otherwise a person without the divine name wastes his life away.

ਇਕਿ ਆਵਹਿ ਇਕਿ ਜਾਹਿ ਉਠਿ ਰਖੀਅਹਿ ਨਾਵ ਸਲਾਰ ॥
One person is born and another gets up and leaves (dies). Others give themselves great names in the world.

ਇਕਿ ਉਪਾਏ ਮੰਗਤੇ ਇਕਨਾ ਵਡੇ ਦਰਵਾਰ ॥
In one moment God transforms an individual into a beggar and at the same time transforms a person into the commander of a great palace.

ਅਗੈ ਗਇਆ ਜਾਣੀਐ ਵਿਣੁ ਨਾਵੈ ਵੇਕਾਰ ॥੩॥
When the person goes ahead then they will understand this that some people endure a torrid time as the individual without the name of God is useless. 3.

ਭੈ ਤੇਰੈ ਡਰੁ ਅਗਲਾ ਖਪਿ ਖਪਿ ਛਿਜੈ ਦੇਹ ॥
O Gopal Pandhay, Are you afraid of the Lord or not? I fear the Lord immensely as I am wasting my life trapped in the snare of desire and vices.

ਨਾਵ ਜਿਨਾ ਸੁਲਤਾਨ ਖਾਨ ਹੋਦੇ ਡਿਠੇ ਖੇਹ ॥
Those people who are names Kings, commanders of thousands of people are all going to be dust which I have personally seen.

ਨਾਨਕ ਉਠੀ ਚਲਿਆ ਸਭਿ ਕੂੜੇ ਤੁਟੇ ਨੇਹ ॥੪॥੬॥
Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji is saying, “O Gopal Pandhay when this being arises and departs to the next world then all of the false attachment and love for this world is destroyed.
