Becoming clean and new is a gift you receive; kept safe and sound, you find the Source of all.
The Arc
This short Du-Pada opens a new set (Ghar 3, Du-Padas). Pauri 0: bathing where the good-hearted gather, the old marks lift and one becomes fresh and new -- a gift the teaching gives. Rahau (Pauri 1): the One blesses everyone with calm and gladness, and holding the teaching, all is kept safe and whole; in good company the dust of the heart washes off, the One becomes friend and helper, and holding the Name, one finds the Primal Being, the Source of all.
Key Vocabulary
raamdaas sarovar naatay: bathing in the sacred pool
gur poorai keenay daanaa: the teaching gave it as a gift
sahee salaamat sabh thok ubaaray: everything carried through safe and sound
saadhsang mal laathee: in good company the dust washes off
aad purakh: the Primal Being, the Source
Themes and Cross-Connections
The cleansing is explicitly a daan, a gift -- grace received, not earned. 'Safe and sound' (sahee salaamat) seals the Sorath keynote of being kept whole, ending at aad purakh, the origin of everything.
For Raag Sorath
Sorath's warmth suits a compact shabad about being made fresh and kept whole.
Translation Notes
Sabh utray paap kamaatay ('all committed sins are erased') is rendered as 'old marks lift off' -- keeping the cleansing while avoiding heavy guilt language for young readers.
