O Nanak, the Transcendent Lord has preserved my honor, and saved the whole world. ||2||20||48||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
A treasure of all joy, sweet as the finest drink, lovely beyond compare — the One’s Name is my only support.
The One kept my honor safe and carried the whole world across to safety.
The same care that holds you is wide enough to hold the world.
Sarab nidhaan mangal ras roopaa — the Name as treasure, sweetness (ras), and beauty (roopaa), all at once. Udhri-aa sabh sansaaro — the world saved; personal rescue and universal rescue named in a single breath.
