Now begins the description of the adoption of a Girl as the Twelfth Guru
ਰਸਾਵਲ ਛੰਦ ॥
RASAAVAL STANZA
ਚਲਾ ਦਤ ਆਗੇ ॥
ਲਖੇ ਪਾਪ ਭਾਗੇ ॥
Then Dutt moved further seeing him, the sins fled away
ਬਜੈ ਘੰਟ ਘੋਰੰ ॥
ਬਣੰ ਜਾਣੁ ਮੋਰੰ ॥੨੫੬॥
The thunderous sound of the songs continued like the song of the peacocks in the forest.256.
ਨਵੰ ਨਾਦ ਬਾਜੈ ॥
ਧਰਾ ਪਾਪ ਭਾਜੈ ॥
The horns were sounded in the sky and the sins of the earth ran away
ਕਰੈ ਦੇਬ੍ਰਯ ਅਰਚਾ ॥
ਚਤੁਰ ਬੇਦ ਚਰਚਾ ॥੨੫੭॥
He made offerings to the goddess and there was the discussion about the four Vedas.257.
ਸ੍ਰੁਤੰ ਸਰਬ ਪਾਠੰ ॥
ਸੁ ਸੰਨ꠳ਯਾਸ ਰਾਠੰ ॥
Recitation of all the Shrutis was performed for that Sannyas at the suitable place
ਮਹਾਜੋਗ ਨ꠳ਯਾਸੰ ॥
ਸਦਾਈ ਉਦਾਸੰ ॥੨੫੮॥
The great practices of Yoga were held and there was atmosphere of detachment.258.
ਖਟੰ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਚਰਚਾ ॥
ਰਟੈ ਬੇਦ ਅਰਚਾ ॥
ਮਹਾ ਮੋਨ ਮਾਨੀ ॥
ਕਿ ਸੰਨ꠳ਯਾਸ ਧਾਨੀ ॥੨੫੯॥
There was discussion of six Shastras and the recitation of the Vedas and the Sannyasis observed great silence.259.
ਚਲਾ ਦਤ ਆਗੈ ॥
ਲਖੇ ਪਾਪ ਭਾਗੈ ॥
Then Dutt move still further and seeing him, the sins fled away
ਲਖੀ ਏਕ ਕੰਨਿਆ ॥
ਤਿਹੂੰ ਲੋਗ ਧੰਨਿਆ ॥੨੬੦॥
There he was a girl, making the three worlds blessed ones.260.
ਮਹਾ ਬ੍ਰਹਮਚਾਰੀ ॥
ਸੁ ਧਰਮਾਧਿਕਾਰੀ ॥
ਲਖੀ ਪਾਨਿ ਵਾ ਕੇ ॥
ਗੁਡੀ ਬਾਲਿ ਤਾ ਕੇ ॥੨੬੧॥
This authority of Dharma and the great celibate saw a doll in her hand.261.
ਖਿਲੈ ਖੇਲ ਤਾ ਸੋ ॥
ਇਸੋ ਹੇਤ ਵਾ ਸੋ ॥
ਪੀਐ ਪਾਨਿ ਨ ਆਵੈ ॥
ਇਸੋ ਖੇਲ ਭਾਵੈ ॥੨੬੨॥
She was playing with it and she loved it so much that she drank water and continued to play with it.262.
ਗਏ ਮੋਨਿ ਮਾਨੀ ॥
ਤਰੈ ਦਿਸਟ ਆਨੀ ॥
ਨ ਬਾਲਾ ਨਿਹਾਰ꠳ਯੋ ॥
ਨ ਖੇਲੰ ਬਿਸਾਰ꠳ਯੋ ॥੨੬੩॥
All those silence-observing Yogis went to that side and they saw her, but that girl did not see them and did not stop playing,263.
ਲਖੀ ਦਤ ਬਾਲਾ ॥
ਮਨੋ ਰਾਗਮਾਲਾ ॥
The teeth the girl were like the garland of flowers
ਰੰਗੀ ਰੰਗਿ ਖੇਲੰ ॥
ਮਨੋ ਨਾਗ੍ਰ ਬੇਲੰ ॥੨੬੪॥
She was absorbed in frolic like the creeper clinging to the tree.264.
ਤਬੈ ਦਤ ਰਾਯੰ ॥
ਲਖੇ ਤਾਸ ਜਾਯੰ ॥
ਗੁਰੂ ਤਾਸ ਕੀਨਾ ॥
ਮਹਾ ਮੰਤ੍ਰ ਭੀਨਾ ॥੨੬੫॥
Then Dutt, seeing her, eulogized her and accepting her as his Guru, he was absorbed in his great mantra.265.
ਗੁਰੂ ਤਾਸ ਜਾਨ꠳ਯੋ ॥
ਇਮੰ ਮੰਤ੍ਰ ਠਾਨ੍ਰਯੋ ॥
He accepted her as his Guru and in this way, adopted the mantra
ਦਸੰ ਦ੍ਵੈ ਨਿਧਾਨੰ ॥
ਗੁਰੂ ਦਤ ਜਾਨੰ ॥੨੬੬॥
In this way, Dutt adopted his twelfth Guru.266.
