Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One made birth, death and the way we cling to things.
The Creator wrote in the coming and going of lives.
For Prahlaad's sake, the One appeared.
The devotee's word came true.
The same One made the whole cycle of life.
jaman marnaa moh upaa-i-aa — the One made being born, passing away, and moh, the way we hold on to things. The coming and going of lives is written into the play by the Creator. It is not a threat. It is part of the wonderful play from the opening verse, like the seasons turning in a year.
And then: bhagtaa kaa bol aagai aa-i-aa — the word of the devotee came true. For Prahlaad's sake, the One showed up. What the boy had said all along turned out to be exactly right.
What is something you trusted would work out, that turned out just as you hoped?
