The primal One, lover of virtue — praise gladly, do good, and be free of the fear of death.
The Arc
Jai Dayv opens with the primordial One, "Lover of Truth and virtues," remembrance of whom frees all (P0); the Name dissolves the fear of birth, aging, and death (P1); praise joyfully AND do good, grounded in the unchanging One (P2); concrete ethics — renounce greed and coveting, run to the One (P3); worship whole, in thought, word, and deed, above all spectacle (P4); and the close names the One as the source of all sought powers, the salvation of all ages (P5).
Key Vocabulary
"Lover of Truth and virtues" — the One drawn to goodness, not merely commanding it (P0).
praise AND good deeds — worship and ethics held together (P2).
"thought, word and deed" — the whole self integrated in worship (P4).
"source of all the powers" — go to the spring, not the streams (P5).
Themes and Cross-Connections
Jai Dayv (one of the earliest Bhagats) gives the raag its clearest fusion of devotion and ethics (P2–P4), kin to the raag's jivan-mukti-as-compassion (B00C1079) and the Aasaa golden-rule verses (B00C986). "Source of all powers" restates the demotion of siddhis (B00C1033, B00C1072). The universal-salvation close (P5) seals the Goojaree Bhagat section's inclusiveness.
For Raag Goojaree
Jai Dayv closes the Goojaree Bhagats by binding worship to decency: praise the One gladly, give up greed and coveting, align your thought, word, and deed — and the fear of birth, age, and death loosens its grip, for the One is the salvation of all.
