Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
I am the One's trader, its little peddler. The only goods I deal in are the One's Name.
The devotee is a trader whose only goods are the Name.
The Rahao: the soul as the One's peddler, dealing only in the Name (cf. the shopkeeper of the Name). Identity is defined by what you trade in; the devotee trades in the one thing that lasts.
