ਹਰਿ ਕਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਕੋਟਿ ਲਖ ਬਾਹਾ ॥
har kaa naam kot lakh baahaa.
One who has the Name of the Lord has hundreds of thousands and millions of arms.
ਹਰਿ ਜਸੁ ਕੀਰਤਨੁ ਸੰਗਿ ਧਨੁ ਤਾਹਾ ॥
har jas keertan sang Dhan taahaa.
The wealth of the Kirtan of the Lord's Praises is with him.
ਗਿਆਨ ਖੜਗੁ ਕਰਿ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਦੀਨਾ ਦੂਤ ਮਾਰੇ ਕਰਿ ਧਾਈ ਹੇ ॥੯॥
gi-aan kharhag kar kirpaa deenaa doot maaray kar Dhaa-ee hay. ||9||
In His Mercy, God has blessed me with the sword of spiritual wisdom; I have attacked and killed the demons. ||9||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Whoever carries the Name is strong beyond counting — as if a thousand arms were helping.
Singing the One's praise is the wealth they carry with them. In grace, the One gave me the sword of understanding, and I rushed at the troubles inside me and struck them down.
The sword of understanding strikes down the troubles inside you.
kot lakh baahaa — the Name gives strength as if of countless arms. har jas keertan — singing the One's praise — is the wealth that goes along. The gyaan kharhag (sword of wisdom) is turned inward: it strikes down one's own doot, the inner troubles and pulls.
A Question to Sit With
What tangle inside you could a little clear understanding cut through?
