Bhairao, Third Mehl:

1133 : 317
Upon my writing tablet, I write the Name of the Lord, the Lord of the Universe, the Lord of the World.

1133 : 318
In the love of duality, the mortals are caught in the noose of the Messenger of Death.

1133 : 319
The True Guru nurtures and sustains me.

1133 : 320
The Lord, the Giver of peace, is always with me. ||1||

1133 : 321
Following his Guru's instructions, Prahlaad chanted the Lord's Name;

1133 : 322
he was a child, but he was not afraid when his teacher yelled at him. ||1||Pause||

1133 : 323
Prahlaad's mother gave her beloved son some advice:

1133 : 324
"My son, you must abandon the Lord's Name, and save your life!"

1133 : 325
Prahlaad said: "Listen, O my mother;

1133 : 326
I shall never give up the Lord's Name. My Guru has taught me this."||2||

1133 : 327
Sandaa and Markaa, his teachers, went to his father the king, and complained:

1133 : 328
"Prahlaad himself has gone astray, and he leads all the other pupils astray."

1133 : 329
In the court of the wicked king, a plan was hatched.

1133 : 330
God is the Savior of Prahlaad. ||3||

1133 : 331
With sword in hand, and with great egotistical pride, Prahlaad's father ran up to him.

1133 : 332
"Where is your Lord, who will save you?"

1133 : 333
In an instant, the Lord appeared in a dreadful form, and shattered the pillar.

1133 : 334
Harnaakhash was torn apart by His claws, and Prahlaad was saved. ||4||

Continued...

1133 : 335
The Dear Lord completes the tasks of the Saints.

1133 : 336
He saved twenty-one generations of Prahlaad's descendents.

1133 : 337
Through the Word of the Guru's Shabad, the poison of egotism is neutralized.

1133 : 338
O Nanak, through the Name of the Lord, the Saints are emancipated. ||5||10||20||

1133 : 339
Bhairao, Third Mehl:

1133 : 340
The Lord Himself makes demons pursue the Saints, and He Himself saves them.

1133 : 341
Those who remain forever in Your Sanctuary, O Lord - their minds are never touched by sorrow. ||1||

1133 : 342
In each and every age, the Lord saves the honor of His devotees.

1133 : 343
Prahlaad, the demon's son, knew nothing of the Hindu morning prayer, the Gayatri, and nothing about ceremonial water-offerings to his ancestors; but through the Word of the Shabad, he was united in the Lord's Union. ||1||Pause||

1133 : 344
Night and day, he performed devotional worship service, day and night, and through the Shabad, his duality was eradicated.

1133 : 345
Those who are imbued with Truth are immaculate and pure; the True Lord abides within their minds. ||2||

1133 : 346
The fools in duality read, but they do not understand anything; they waste their lives uselessly.

1133 : 347
The wicked demon slandered the Saint, and stirred up trouble. ||3||

1133 : 348
Prahlaad did not read in duality, and he did not abandon the Lord's Name; he was not afraid of any fear.

1133 : 349
The Dear Lord became the Savior of the Saint, and the demonic Death could not even approach him. ||4||

1133 : 350
The Lord Himself saved his honor, and blessed his devotee with glorious greatness.

1133 : 351
O Nanak, Harnaakhash was torn apart by the Lord with His claws; the blind demon knew nothing of the Lord's Court. ||5||11||21||

1133 : 352
Raag Bhairao, Fourth Mehl, Chaupadas, First House:

1133 : 353
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

1133 : 354
The Lord, in His Mercy, attaches mortals to the feet of the Saints.
