Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

The One breaks fear and ends pain.

Angels, people and silent sages serve that One.

The earth and the sky rest in the One's power.

All beings eat what You give them.

The One who feeds every creature can lift your fear too.
The deeper layer

The One takes away fear and pain, holds the earth and sky, and feeds every creature.

bhav khandan dukh naas — breaker of fear, ender of pain. tayraa deeaa sabh jantt khaahi — every creature fed by the One; the Giver theme again.

A Question to Sit With

What takes your fear away when you are afraid?
