He Himself is True, and true is all that He has established. True is the prevailing Order of the True Lord. ||4||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
The One's throne is true, the One's kingdom is true, and true is the treasure of the True Banker.
The One is true, and all the One has set up is true. The True One's Command runs through everything there is.
What the One builds is true all the way through.
sach repeated names Sach — Truth, what endures, in contrast to jhooth, the false that washes off like cheap dye. takhat (throne), paatisaahee (kingdom), khajeenaa (treasure) — all true, all lasting. sachay sach vartee-jaa — the True One's order prevails everywhere.
