Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One who sets right what has gone wrong also gives the gift of life freely.
Such is my Beloved: hold that One in mind, and fear and trouble simply melt away.
Hold the One in mind, and fear and trouble lose their power over you.
The closing verse gathers the stories into a single confession: pranvai naamaa aiso haree — Namdev bows and says, this is what my One is like. Jaas japat bhai apdaa taree — remembering the One, bhai (fear) and apdaa (calamity) are crossed over. The catalogue of the saved becomes personal: the same mercy is available to the one singing.
