ਤੋਮਰ ਛੰਦ ॥
(Now begins the description of the adoption of the Twenty-fourth Guru [carnation])
ਤਬ ਬਹੁਤ ਬਰਖ ਪ੍ਰਮਾਨ ॥
TOMAR STANZA
ਚੜਿ ਮੇਰ ਸ੍ਰਿੰਗ ਮਹਾਨ ॥
ਕੀਅ ਘੋਰ ਤਪਸਾ ਉਗ੍ਰ ॥
ਤਬ ਰੀਝਏ ਕਛੁ ਸੁਗ੍ਰ ॥੪੭੪॥
Then ascending the Sumeru mountain the sage performed great austerities for many years and felt pleased as the essence-finder.474.
ਜਗ ਦੇਖ ਕੇ ਬਿਵਹਾਰ ॥
ਮੁਨਿ ਰਾਜ ਕੀਨ ਬਿਚਾਰ ॥
ਇਨ ਕਉਨ ਸੋ ਉਪਜਾਇ ॥
ਫਿਰਿ ਲੇਤਿ ਆਪਿ ਮਿਲਾਇ ॥੪੭੫॥
Seeing the practice of the world, the sage thought as to who is He, who creates the world and then merges it within Himself?475.
ਤਿਹ ਚੀਨੀਐ ਕਰਿ ਗਿਆਨ ॥
ਤਬ ਹੋਇ ਪੂਰਣ ਧ꠳ਯਾਨ ॥
When He is recognized through the knowledge, then the adoration will be complete
ਤਿਹ ਜਾਣੀਐ ਜਤ ਜੋਗ ॥
ਤਬ ਹੋਇ ਦੇਹ ਅਰੋਗ ॥੪੭੬॥
If He is comprehended through the medium off Yoga, only then the body (and the mind) will be completely healthy.476.
ਤਬ ਏਕ ਪੁਰਖ ਪਛਾਨ ॥
ਜਗ ਨਾਸ ਜਾਹਿਨ ਜਾਨ ॥
Then the supreme essence will be known (when it will be realized) that He is also the destroyer of the world
ਸਬ ਜਗਤ ਕੋ ਪਤਿ ਦੇਖਿ ॥
ਅਨਭਉ ਅਨੰਤ ਅਭੇਖ ॥੪੭੭॥
That master of the world is real and Lord is supremely absorbed and He is also beyond all forms.477.
ਬਿਨ ਏਕ ਨਾਹਿਨ ਸਾਤਿ ॥
ਸਭ ਤੀਰਥ ਕਿਯੁੰ ਨ ਅਨਾਤ ॥
There will be no peace without that one Lord the bath at all the pilgrim-stations will be fruitless
ਜਬ ਸੇਵਿਹੋ ਇਕਿ ਨਾਮ ॥
ਤਬ ਹੋਇ ਪੂਰਣ ਕਾਮ ॥੪੭੮॥
When service will be rendered to him and His Name will be remembered, then all the desires will be fulfilled.478.
ਬਿਨੁ ਏਕ ਚੌਬਿਸ ਫੋਕ ॥
ਸਬ ਹੀ ਧਰਾ ਸਬ ਲੋਕ ॥
Without that One Lord, all the twenty-four incarnation and all others are meaningless
ਜਿਨਿ ਏਕ ਕਉ ਪਹਿਚਾਨ ॥
ਤਿਨ ਚਉਬਿਸੋ ਰਸ ਮਾਨ ॥੪੭੯॥
He, who recognizes the One Lord, he will remain jubilant even on adoring all the twenty-four incarnations.479.
ਜੇ ਏਕ ਕੇ ਰਸ ਭੀਨ ॥
ਤਿਨਿ ਚਉਬਿਸੋ ਰਸਿ ਲੀਨ ॥
He, who falls in love with the One Lord, he will feel happy in knowing about the wonderful works of all the twenty-four incarnations
ਜਿਨ ਏਕ ਕੋ ਨਹੀ ਬੂਝ ॥
ਤਿਹ ਚਉਬਿਸੈ ਨਹੀ ਸੂਝ ॥੪੮੦॥
He, who does not recognize the One Lord, he cannot know the mysteries of the twenty-four incarnations.480.
ਜਿਨਿ ਏਕ ਕੌ ਨਹੀ ਚੀਨ ॥
ਤਿਨਿ ਚਉਬਿਸੈ ਫਲ ਹੀਨ ॥
He, who not recognized the One Lord, the twenty-four are fruitless for him
ਜਿਨ ਏਕ ਕੋ ਪਹਿਚਾਨ ॥
ਤਿਨਿ ਚਉਬਿਸੈ ਰਸ ਮਾਨ ॥੪੮੧॥
He, who feels the presence of One and recognizes him, he can feel the happiness of the twenty-four.481.
