"I felt passed over; then I was dressed in beauty and love."
The Arc

Key Vocabulary
Seegaaree — adorned, beautified.
Tapat bujhee — the fire of desire extinguished.
Anhad sabad — the unstruck sound.

Themes and Cross-Connections
The cooled fire and blazing light connect to B00C2401's sibling shabads on remembrance; the lift felt near an awakened one echoes B00C2394's "sit near someone already well."
Translation Notes
The bride-imagery (duhaagan, the discarded wife; kant, husband-lord) is rendered as feeling passed over then chosen, and as the Beloved Oneness — keeping the tenderness while removing gendered marital framing for young readers.
For Raag Bhairao
The extinguished fire giving way to blazing light is a dawn movement, at home in bright Bhairao.
