Bhairao, Third Mehl, Second House:

1154 : 1397
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

1154 : 1398
The Creator has staged His Wondrous Play.

1154 : 1399
I listen to the Unstruck Sound-current of the Shabad, and the Bani of His Word.

1154 : 1400
The self-willed manmukhs are deluded and confused, while the Gurmukhs understand.

1154 : 1401
The Creator creates the Cause that causes. ||1||

1154 : 1402
Deep within my being, I meditate on the Word of the Guru's Shabad.

1154 : 1403
I shall never forsake the Name of the Lord. ||1||Pause||

1154 : 1404
Prahlaad's father sent him to school, to learn to read.

1154 : 1405
He took his writing tablet and went to the teacher.

1154 : 1406
He said, "I shall not read anything except the Naam, the Name of the Lord.

1154 : 1407
Write the Lord's Name on my tablet."||2||

1154 : 1408
Prahlaad's mother said to her son,

1154 : 1409
"I advise you not to read anything except what you are taught."

1154 : 1410
He answered, "The Great Giver, my Fearless Lord God is always with me.

1154 : 1411
If I were to forsake the Lord, then my family would be disgraced."||3||

1154 : 1412
"Prahlaad has corrupted all the other students.

1154 : 1413
He does not listen to what I say, and he does his own thing.

1154 : 1414
He instigated devotional worship in the townspeople."

1154 : 1415
The gathering of the wicked people could not do anything against him. ||4||

1154 : 1416
Sanda and Marka, his teachers, made the complaint.

1154 : 1417
All the demons kept trying in vain.

1154 : 1418
The Lord protected His humble devotee, and preserved his honor.

1154 : 1419
What can be done by mere created beings? ||5||

1154 : 1420
Because of his past karma, the demon ruled over his kingdom.

1154 : 1421
He did not realize the Lord; the Lord Himself confused him.

1154 : 1422
He started an argument with his son Prahlaad.

1154 : 1423
The blind one did not understand that his death was approaching. ||6||

1154 : 1424
Prahlaad was placed in a cell, and the door was locked.

1154 : 1425
The fearless child was not afraid at all. He said, "Within my being, is the Guru, the Lord of the World."

1154 : 1426
The created being tried to compete with his Creator, but he assumed this name in vain.

1154 : 1427
That which was predestined for him has come to pass; he started an argument with the Lord's humble servant. ||7||

1154 : 1428
The father raised the club to strike down Prahlaad, saying,

1154 : 1429
"Where is your God, the Lord of the Universe, now?"

1154 : 1430
He replied, "The Life of the World, the Great Giver, is my Help and Support in the end.

1154 : 1431
Wherever I look, I see Him permeating and prevailing."||8||

1154 : 1432
Tearing down the pillars, the Lord Himself appeared.

1154 : 1433
The egotistical demon was killed and destroyed.

1154 : 1434
The minds of the devotees were filled with bliss, and congratulations poured in.

1154 : 1435
He blessed His servant with glorious greatness. ||9||

1154 : 1436
He created birth, death and attachment.

1154 : 1437
The Creator has ordained coming and going in reincarnation.

1154 : 1438
For the sake of Prahlaad, the Lord Himself appeared.

1154 : 1439
The word of the devotee came true. ||10||

1154 : 1440
The gods proclaimed the victory of Lakshmi, and said,

1154 : 1441
"O mother, make this form of the Man-lion disappear!"

1154 : 1442
Lakshmi was afraid, and did not approach.
