ਵਡੀ ਵਡਿਆਈ ਨਾਨਕ ਕਰਤੇ ਕੀ ਸਾਚੁ ਸਬਦੁ ਸਤਿ ਭਾਖਿਆ ॥੨॥੧੮॥੪੬॥

Great is the glorious greatness of the Creator, O Nanak; True is the Word of His Shabad, and True is the sermon of His Teachings. ||2||18||46||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
One who loves the One holds the Name close, and it becomes their only real support; the perfect Teacher poured out kindness and the fever lifted.
So celebrate and be glad, my dear ones — the child has been kept safe. Great is the goodness of the Creator, and true, through and through, is His Word.
When someone you love is safe, gladness becomes a kind of praise.
The pause-line: taap utaari-aa, the fever taken down. This shabad names Hargobind, a child recovered from illness — rendered simply as “the child has been kept safe.” Saach sabad sat bhaakhi-aa: the Word is true and its teaching is true; gratitude turns into praise of the Word itself.
