paurree 4

ਅੰਡਜ ਜੇਰਜ ਸਾਧਿ ਕੈ ਸੇਤਜ ਉਤਭੁਜ ਖਾਣੀ ਬਾਣੀ ।

anddaj jeraj saadh kai setaj utabhuj khaanee baanee |

The gurmukhs subdue the four life-mines (egg, foetus, sweat, vegetation) and the four speeches (para, posyanti, madhyama, vaikhari~.

ਚਾਰੇ ਕੁੰਡਾਂ ਚਾਰਿ ਜੁਗ ਚਾਰਿ ਵਰਨਿ ਚਾਰਿ ਵੇਦੁ ਵਖਾਣੀ ।

chaare kunddaan chaar jug chaar varan chaar ved vakhaanee |

Four are directions, four the yugas (ages), four varnas and four are the Vedas.

ਧਰਮੁ ਅਰਥੁ ਕਾਮੁ ਮੋਖੁ ਜਿਣਿ ਰਜ ਤਮ ਸਤ ਗੁਣ ਤੁਰੀਆ ਰਾਣੀ ।

dharam arath kaam mokh jin raj tam sat gun tureea raanee |

Conquering dharma, artha, kama, moksa and crossing three stagges of rajas, sattva and tamas they enter into the fourth stage turiya, the stage of supreme bliss.

ਸਨਕਾਦਿਕ ਆਸ੍ਰਮ ਉਲੰਘਿ ਚਾਰਿ ਵੀਰ ਵਸਗਤਿ ਕਰਿ ਆਣੀ ।

sanakaadik aasram ulangh chaar veer vasagat kar aanee |

They control Sanak, Sanandan Sanatan, Sanatkumar, the four ashramas and the four warriors (in the field of charity, dharma, compassion and warfare).

ਚਉਪੜਿ ਜਿਉ ਚਉਸਾਰ ਮਾਰਿ ਜੋੜਾ ਹੋਇ ਨ ਕੋਇ ਰਞਾਣੀ ।

chauparr jiau chausaar maar jorraa hoe na koe rayaanee |

As in chaupar (a game like blackgamman played with an oblong dice) one is victorious by winning all the four sides, and a twosome is not killed,

ਰੰਗ ਬਿਰੰਗ ਤੰਬੋਲ ਰਸ ਬਹੁ ਰੰਗੀ ਇਕੁ ਰੰਗੁ ਨੀਸਾਣੀ ।

rang birang tanbol ras bahu rangee ik rang neesaanee |

ਗੁਰਮੁਖਿ ਸਾਧਸੰਗਤਿ ਨਿਰਬਾਣੀ ।੪।

guramukh saadhasangat nirabaanee |4|

So the gurmukh also makes pair with the One Lord and becomes undefeatable.
