ਢਿਗ ਦਤ ਤਾ ਕੇ ਜਾਇ ॥
ਅਵਿਲੋਕਿ ਤਾਸੁ ਬਨਾਏ ॥
Dutt went near him and looked down upon him, learning. a bit
ਅਧਿ ਰਾਤ੍ਰਿ ਨਿਰਜਨ ਤ੍ਰਾਸ ॥

It was raining and the water was spreading on the earth
ਜਗਿ ਜੀਵ ਸਰਬ ਸੁ ਭਾਸ ॥
ਉਠਿ ਭਾਜ ਤ੍ਰਾਸ ਉਦਾਸ ॥੨੭੭॥
All the beings of the world ran away in fear.277.
ਇਹ ਠਾਢ ਭੂਪਤਿ ਪਉਰ ॥
ਮਨ ਜਾਪ ਜਾਪਤ ਗਉਰ ॥
This orderly was standing at the gate of the king like this and was repeating the name of the goddess Gauri-Parvati in his mind

He was standing on one foot, without even slightly turning his limbs.278.

He was standing solemnly without seeming to have friendliness for anyone.279.

He was a devotee of the king dyed unswervingly in the love of the Lord.280.
ਜਲ ਪਰਤ ਮੂਸਲਧਾਰ ॥
ਗ੍ਰਿਹ ਲੇ ਨ ਓਟਿ ਦੁਆਰ ॥
ਪਸੁ ਪਛ ਸਰਬਿ ਦਿਸਾਨ ॥
ਸਭ ਦੇਸ ਦੇਸ ਸਿਧਾਨ ॥੨੮੧॥
Because of heavy rain, all the animals and birds were going from various directions to their homes in order to take shelter.281.

ਰਨ ਖੰਭ ਜਾਨੁਕ ਗਾਡ ॥੨੮੩॥
There was no other idea in his mind except his master and he was standing on one foot like a column standing in the battlefield.283.

Wherever he placed his foot, he firmly fixed it there
ਨਹੀ ਠਾਮ ਭੀਜਸ ਤਉਨ ॥
ਅਵਲੋਕ ਭਇਓ ਮੁਨਿ ਮਉਨ ॥੨੮੪॥
At his place, he was not getting wet and seeing him the sage Dutt kept silent.284.
ਅਵਲੋਕਿ ਤਾਸੁ ਮੁਨੇਸ ॥
ਅਕਲੰਕ ਭਾਗਵਿ ਭੇਸ ॥
The sage saw him and he seemed to him like a part of a blemishless moon
ਗੁਰੁ ਜਾਨਿ ਪਰੀਆ ਪਾਇ ॥
ਤਜਿ ਲਾਜ ਸਾਜ ਸਚਾਇ ॥੨੮੫॥
The sage abandoning his shyness and accepting him as his Guru, fell at his feet.285.
ਤਿਹ ਜਾਨ ਕੈ ਗੁਰਦੇਵ ॥
ਅਕਲੰਕ ਦਤ ਅਭੇਵ ॥
ਚਿਤ ਤਾਸ ਕੇ ਰਸ ਭੀਨ ॥
ਗੁਰੁ ਤ੍ਰਉਦਸਮੋ ਤਿਹ ਕੀਨ ॥੨੮੬॥
