paurree 7

ਬਲਿ ਪੋਤਾ ਪ੍ਰਹਿਲਾਦ ਦਾ ਇੰਦਰਪੁਰੀ ਦੀ ਇਛ ਇਛੰਦਾ ।

bal potaa prahilaad daa indarapuree dee ichh ichhandaa |

Son of Virochan and grand son of Prahalad, king Bali, had a desire of ruling the abode of Indr.

ਕਰਿ ਸੰਪੂਰਣੁ ਜਗੁ ਸਉ ਇਕ ਇਕੋਤਰੁ ਜਗੁ ਕਰੰਦਾ ।

kar sanpooran jag sau ik ikotar jag karandaa |

He had accomplished hundred yajns (burnt offerings) and his other hudred yajns were in progress.

ਬਾਵਨ ਰੂਪੀ ਆਇ ਕੈ ਗਰਬੁ ਨਿਵਾਰਿ ਭਗਤ ਉਧਰੰਦਾ ।

baavan roopee aae kai garab nivaar bhagat udharandaa |

Lord in the form of a dwarf came to remove his ego and thus liberated him.

ਇੰਦ੍ਰਾਸਣ ਨੋ ਪਰਹਰੈ ਜਾਇ ਪਤਾਲਿ ਸੁ ਹੁਕਮੀ ਬੰਦਾ ।

eindraasan no paraharai jaae pataal su hukamee bandaa |

He repudiated the throne of Indr and like an obedient servant went to the nether world.

ਬਲਿ ਛਲਿ ਆਪੁ ਛਲਾਇਓਨੁ ਦਰਵਾਜੇ ਦਰਵਾਨ ਹੋਵੰਦਾ ।

bal chhal aap chhalaaeon daravaaje daravaan hovandaa |

The Lord Himself got enamoured of Bali and had to stay as a door keeper of Bali.

ਸ੍ਵਾਤਿ ਬੂੰਦ ਲੈ ਸਿਪ ਜਿਉ ਮੋਤੀ ਚੁਭੀ ਮਾਰਿ ਸੁਹੰਦਾ ।

svaat boond lai sip jiau motee chubhee maar suhandaa |

Bali, the king is like that shell which in the svati naksatr (a special star formation) receiving a drop and making it a pearl dives deep at the bottom of the sea.

ਹੀਰੈ ਹੀਰਾ ਬੇਧਿ ਮਿਲੰਦਾ ।੭।

heerai heeraa bedh milandaa |7|

The diamond heart of devotee Bali, cut by the diamond Lord was finally subsumed in Him.
