saaloo saarag saagraa a-or gond gambheer.
Saaloo, Saarang, Saagaraa, Gond and Gambheer
ਅਸਟ ਪੁਤ੍ਰ ਸ੍ਰੀਰਾਗ ਕੇ ਗੁੰਡ ਕੁੰਭ ਹਮੀਰ ॥੧॥
asat putar sareeraag kay gund kumbh hameer. ||1||
- the eight sons of Siree Raag include Gund, Kumb and Hameer. ||1||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Saaloo, Saarang, Saagaraa, Gond and Gambheer;
the eight sons of Siree Raag also include Gund, Kumb and Hameer.
Many voices, one home.
Siree Raag's eight smaller tunes are named, many voices in one home.
Saarang and Gond echo names of full raags found earlier in the book, so the garland gathers up, in miniature, the whole musical world of the scripture. Gambheer even means "deep" or "serious," a name that carries its own mood.
