Forgiven and healed, the tangles of daily life come right; a child is safe, and gladness becomes praise.

Pauri 0: the Supreme One forgave and cured every sickness; in the Teacher’s shelter one is carried through, and all affairs come right. Rahau (embedded in Pauri 1): the one who loves holds the Name as their only support; the fever lifted — so celebrate, the child is safe; great is the Creator, true is His Word.
