Opening Ghar 5, devotion as an overflowing treasure, the Name as an ocean of peace to drink from, the body made clean by remembrance, the teacher's boat across the current of attachment, and the One present in every place.
Key Vocabulary
bhagat bhandaaraa - the treasure-house of devotion
sukh saagar - the ocean of peace

Themes and Cross-Connections
Abundance and peace; hukam (whatever You do comes to be); grace as a boat across the rough water.
For Raag Maaroo
The "rough water" of Maaroo is crossed not by force but by a given boat - reassurance for every hard passage.
Translation Notes
Pauri3's "nine holes pour out filth" is softened to "the Name makes the whole body pure and bright," honoring the body rather than shaming it; "beggar / poor servant" kept as honest empty-handedness, not self-abasement.
