1. There is much afsos {regret} that I have not done the aradhna {devotion} of the maha sundar {immensely beautiful} charan kamal {lotus feet} of Shiv Ji , the likes of which give salvation to mankind.
2. I have not even gathered the punn karam {good deeds} which open the door of paradise , I am bhaagh heen {void of good fortune}.
3. The istri {female} of splendid physique and superior bahaviour, I have not even in my wildest dreams engaged in consummation with her. {He refers to neglecting his own pretty wife and perpetually searching for other women to engage in lustful activities with}.
4. That is what my janam {birth} was for , the destruction of my Mother's beautiful youth. I have become a Kuhadha {axe} and destroyed the three Sukh {pleasures} in life.

I have not engaged in love/lust with the blue eyed mesmerising love filled beautiful istri {female} even in my wildest dreams {He neglected his own wife and looked for lust elsewhere}. In the state of being lobhyaimaan {excessively attached/greedy} for praiee istri {female other than own spouse} I have wasted my valuable time like a crow i.e. searching filth {lust}. I have destroyed the beauty , youth , and nobility of my mother by being born like an elephant.{4}.

1. Dhrikaar {ultimate insult} to that jeevan {life} which is the abode of dukh {torment}. Which is constantly defeated by mitr {friends} , sanbandhya {relatives etc.} , and parivaar {family}.

2. The life that does the niradar {disrespect} of parupkaar {helping others} is worthy of dhrikaar {ultimate insult}.

3. In whose forehead there is the chandrma {moon} and both feet are akin to lotus flower {Shiv Ji} , the life that cannot meditate upon that but rather is spent in the sangat {company} of the immoral who engage in ninda {slander} is worthy of dhrikaar {ultimate insult}.

2. I have not gone into battle and attacked warriors sitting on elephants or piercing the foreheads of such animals in order to grind them into fine dust.

3. I have not kissed the delicate/fragile lips of the woman which are akin to the sweet nectar , nor have I become freed from grief/torment under the veil/sheet of the moonlight under kaam {lust}.

4. I have not taken the rass {sweet nectar} of gyan {knowledge} , svarg {paradise} , or istri {female} , haih afsos! {sigh/regret/sadness} I have squandered my youth in futile just as the light of the lamp serves no purpose in an empty house.{6}.

Ankass=hammer used to strike blows on the elephant's heads in order to control them. Kurangh=deer. Pankaj=lotus. Bhringh=bumble bee. Aghya=ignorant. Saas=praan=breathing/life force.

1. The moth burns when it falls on the naked flame as it does not realise the intensity of the fire , in the same way the ignorant fish attempts to eat the meat on the hook but ends up getting caught since it does not realise the ploy of the angler.

2. The elephant falls into the pit/trench that has been set up for it by using a fake female elephant , the result of which he endures the metal blows on his head. In the same way the deer is enticed by the sweet melody produced by the hunter not knowing the cunning plan of the hunter.

3. The bee becomes enveloped in the flower owing to the sweet smell but does not realise that the flower is slowly closing in on him after dawn , the result of which the ignorant bee loses his life.

4. Haih! {sigh} there is afsos {sadness} and laughter on myself about the fact that I am fully aware of the intensity of maha moh {gargantuan attachment} and realise the difference between good and bad deeds but alas I am not abandoning the desires of bhog {indulgences}.{7}.


DOHRA

"MOH MAHA TAMM ROOP KOH GAHEN MAHATAM AAHAIH.

MOHEH PURKH MAHATMA JAEH VIVEK RAVV NAHEH."{8}.

Mahatm aahiah=intense darkness. Mahatma= pratap=intensity. Gahen=extremely difficult. Ravv=suraj=sun.

The intensity of the metaphorical maha andhkaar {extreme darkness} of moh {attachment} is very deep.

Those who do not have the metaphorical sunlight in their heart's sky , even mahatma pursh {spiritual people} have been affected.{8}.

Shrutt=Vedh. Nivareh=send far away. Ke chitt = many. Maan = hankaar=ego. Soonh=empty/void. Mahtt=house. Sadhan = Saint folk. Madhanantar=lustful folk. Bhaam=istri=female.

The gyan {knowledge} of the Vedh dispels ego and intoxication from the mind of wise people , but on some neech {low} people like me it gyan {knowledge} has the adverse effect i.e become more egoistic and intoxicated with knowledge.

Just as a distant empty house in the jungle is a pleasant place for saint folk {the solitary environment can assist in concentration to bring about liberation} , but for a kaami {lustful} person like me that house in the jungle can be the cause of kaam {lust} where I sit and perpetually contemplate istri {female}.{9}.

1. As a result of poorableh karam {past deeds} the bhog roop padarath {physical pleasures} are given to people for a lengthy time , but as a result of the ending of the poorableh karam {past deeds} the bhog padharath {physical pleasures} diminish too and this maryada {law} has been in place since the beginning of time.

2. One day either the bhog padarath {physical pleasures} will end or the bhoghi{consumer} will end i.e. die.

3. When the bhog padarath {physical pleasures} end themselves this results in massive dukh {torment/grief} for the person , but when the bhoghi {person} does the tiagh {renunciation} himself of the pleasures then the three taap {three causes of torment} will disappear in a khinn {nano second}.

4. These bhogh {indulgences} which cause hindrance or obstacles on the path to mukhti {liberation} , I have considered them to me by sanbandhi {close relatives}. Who is more mandh bhaghi {misfortunate} than me? who has become the lover/devotee of the bhogh {physical indulgences} and is kachatt {bogged down} by them at all times.{10}.

Hey friend! I have not indulged in bhogh {physical pleasures} but rather I have been the foolish victim of bhogh , i.e. the physical pleasures have consumed me. Gradually my whole strength has been diminished by bhogh {physical pleasures} in a stealthy manner. I had considered myself to be the indulger of physical pleasures but adversely they have indulged me.

I indulged in the pleasures through my limbs , through the genitalia , through the tongue , and to fill the stomach etc. and such did not realise the fear of Parmatma {the creator}. I have been deceitful to myself.{11}.

I have not engaged in the tapp {endurance} of controlling my indryia {limbs of the body}. I am under the extreme heat/torment of the metaphorical fire of kaam {lust} , krodh{anger} , lobh {greed} etc. Time is rotating perpetually like a rotating wheel and the physical body is enduring the cold and heat.
Time has not passed but adversely I have passed , my body has become vilakhan {black hair has become white , eye sight has become poor}.{12}.

My entire life has been spent on debauchery but up to now nothing has been accomplished. Haih afsos ! {sigh/regrets} I did not attach myself to the charan of Hari {meditation of the creator} but rather spent each second of the day and night in committing paap {sins}.{13}.

The creator with unfathomable power in the form of kaal {death} together with his istri {wife} kaali {the creator in the form of} sit and play chaupadh {dice game}. The four directions , four sub-directions , four eras , and the four seasons are the sixteen houses of this game. The people of the four categories are the nardh {pawns/pieces} , day and night are the sides , this dampatti {husband and wife i.e. creator and death} cast the ultimate throw of dice since they fear on one.




The house where there were many now just has one , where there was just one there are now many. Everything happens in the blink of an eye.




Kaal and Kaali {creator and creator in the form of death} have emptied an abundance of pawns/pieces {people} but up until now the chaupadh {dice game} still remains intact since the staff i.e. Bramha etc still remain to be consumed.{6}.

As a result of the sun rising and then going down my breaths are decreasing on a daily basis just as the water in an unbaked clay pot seeps out drop by drop , thus leaving it empty.




People of the world are so intoxicated in their daily routines of materialistic pursuits that they have forgotten death.




The fear of death in childhood , adolescence , and old age does not enter/penetrate the mind just as the reflection of the sun does not enter/penetrate a wall.




The world , having drunk the metaphorical alcohol of moh {attachment} , has become insane and that is why the world has neglected the concentration/meditation of ShivJi and Parbatti.{7}.

It is of great amazement that the entities that do not give fruition are always taking place/being produced in my mind.










The beginning , middle , or end of such cannot be conceived just as waves/bubbles occur in the ocean but then disappear again and in the same way sankalp {flights of fantasy} occur and disappear in my mind.




These flights of fantasy never cease in the three eras of time , the three eras of childhood , youth , and old age except for a short respite in sakhopti {deep sleep}. Budhepah {old age} has consumed javani {youth} as a result of which my strength has diminished and in every way I have become deenh {helpless}.{8}.

Kaal {death} that is without mercy is immensely balli {powerful} , i.e. it does not leave anyone out , kaal is the destroyer of Bramha's {given the task of creating world} world and it is not known when kaal will strike. Upon hearing this my mann {mind} asks:



Prashan {question}: What is the saresht {special} yukti {technique} for acquiring mukti {liberation}? as a result of which the mann's {mind's} sansa {doubts} dispel and reach a state of shanti {peace/calm}.



Uttar {answer}:If both of the metaphorical lotus feet {Hari Charan , i.e. creators name} are forsaken then what other method of mukti {liberation} is there? {rhetorical question}. Artharth {in other words} Without the creator's name there is no other method of mukti {liberation}.{9}.
