Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Millions of pure, swan-like souls sing the One's spotless glory.
Millions of Brahma's sons sing the One's praise.
In the blink of an eye, the One makes millions of worlds and brings millions to an end.
Millions are Your good qualities; they cannot be counted.
The One's good qualities are more than anyone could count.
Millions of hans, pure swan-like souls, sing its glory. The swan is an old picture of a clear, pure heart. Millions of barahmans, the sons of Brahma, wise voices of old, praise it. In the blink of an eye, millions of worlds are made and come to an end.
That line carries wonder. Think of waves on a beach. They rise and fall all day, and the ocean stays calm. Worlds coming and going are like the breathing of creation. And the verse ends simply: its virtues cannot be counted.
If you tried to list all the good things about someone you love, where would you even begin?
