Raag Bhairao - Part 042

1166 : 2018
Here, take Naam Dayv's weight in gold, and release him."||10||

1166 : 2019
The king replied, "If I take the gold, then I will be consigned to hell,

1166 : 2020
by forsaking my faith and gathering worldly wealth."||11||

1166 : 2021
With his feet in chains, Naam Dayv kept the beat with his hands,

1166 : 2022
singing the Praises of the Lord. ||12||

1166 : 2023
"Even if the Ganges and the Jamunaa rivers flow backwards,

1166 : 2024
I will still continue singing the Praises of the Lord."||13||

1166 : 2025
Three hours passed,

1166 : 2026
and even then, the Lord of the three worlds had not come. ||14||

1166 : 2027
Playing on the instrument of the feathered wings,

1166 : 2028
the Lord of the Universe came, mounted on the eagle garura. ||15||

1166 : 2029
He cherished His devotee,

1166 : 2030
and the Lord came, mounted on the eagle garura. ||16||

1166 : 2031
The Lord said to him, "If you wish, I shall turn the earth sideways.

1166 : 2032
If you wish, I shall turn it upside down. ||17||

1166 : 2033
If you wish, I shall bring the dead cow back to life.

1166 : 2034
Everyone will see and be convinced."||18||

1166 : 2035
Naam Dayv prayed, and milked the cow.

1166 : 2036
He brought the calf to the cow, and milked her. ||19||

1166 : 2037
When the pitcher was filled with milk,

1166 : 2038
Naam Dayv took it and placed it before the king. ||20||

1166 : 2039
The king went into his palace,

1166 : 2040
and his heart was troubled. ||21||

1166 : 2041
Through the Qazis and the Mullahs, the king offered his prayer,

1166 : 2042
"Forgive me, please, O Hindu; I am just a cow before you."||22||

1166 : 2043
Naam Dayv said, "Listen, O king:

1166 : 2044
have I done this miracle? ||23||

1166 : 2045
The purpose of this miracle is

1166 : 2046
that you, O king, should walk on the path of truth and humility."||24||

Continued...

1166 : 2047
Naam Dayv became famous everywhere for this.

1166 : 2048
The Hindus all went together to Naam Dayv. ||25||

1166 : 2049
If the cow had not been revived,

1166 : 2050
people would have lost faith in Naam Dayv. ||26||

1166 : 2051
The fame of Naam Dayv spread throughout the world.

1166 : 2052
The humble devotees were saved and carried across with him. ||27||

1166 : 2053
All sorts of troubles and pains afflicted the slanderer.

1166 : 2054
There is no difference between Naam Dayv and the Lord. ||28||1||10||
