ਚਹੁੰ ਬੇਦਾਂ ਕੇ ਧਰਮ ਮਥਿ ਖਟਿ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਕਥਿ ਰਿਖਿ ਸੁਣਾਵੈ ।

chahun bedaan ke dharam math khatt saasatr kath rikh sunaavai |

Having churned the duties enjoined in the four Vedas, the seers have delineated the six Shastras.

ਬ੍ਰਹਮਾਦਿਕ ਸਨਕਾਦਿਕਾ ਜਿਉ ਤਿਹਿ ਕਹਾ ਤਿਵੈ ਜਗੁ ਗਾਵੈ ।

brahamaadik sanakaadikaa jiau tihi kahaa tivai jag gaavai |

What ever was described by Brahma and Sanak, people recited and followed.

ਗਾਵਨਿ ਪੜਨਿ ਬਿਚਾਰਿ ਬਹੁ ਕੋਟਿ ਮਧੇ ਵਿਰਲਾ ਗਤਿ ਪਾਵੈ ।

gaavan parran bichaar bahu kott madhe viralaa gat paavai |

Many think over while reading and singing, but only one among millions understands and reads between the lines.

ਇਹਿ ਅਚਰਜੁ ਮਨ ਆਵਦੀ ਪੜਤਿ ਗੁਣਤਿ ਕਛੁ ਭੇਦੁ ਨ ਪਾਵੈ ।

eihi acharaj man aavadee parrat gunat kachh bhed na paavai |

Many think over while reading and singing, but only one among millions understands and reads between the lines.

ਜੁਗ ਜੁਗ ਏਕੋ ਵਰਨ ਹੈ ਕਲਿਜੁਗਿ ਕਿਉ ਬਹੁਤੇ ਦਿਖਲਾਵੈ ।

jug jug eko varan hai kalijug kiau bahute dikhalaavai |

It is suprising that every age had dominance of one colour (caste) but how in Kaliyug myriads of castes are there.

ਜੰਦ੍ਰੇ ਵਜੇ ਤ੍ਰਿਹੁ ਜੁਗੀ ਕਥਿ ਪੜ੍ਹਿ ਰਹੈ ਭਰਮੁ ਨਹਿ ਜਾਵੈ ।

jandre vaje trihu jugee kath parrh rahai bharam neh jaavai |

That the duties of all the three Yugas have been abandoned is known to everybody but the confusion persists.

ਜਿਉ ਕਰਿ ਕਥਿਆ ਚਾਰਿ ਬੇਦਿ ਖਟਿ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰਿ ਸੰਗਿ ਸਾਖਿ ਸੁਣਾਵੈ ।

jiau kar kathiaa chaar bed khatt saasatr sang saakh sunaavai |

As the four Vedas have been defined, the description of the six philosophies (Shastras) also complements them.

ਆਪੋ ਆਪਣੇ ਮਤਿ ਸਭਿ ਗਾਵੈ ।੮।

aapo aapane mat sabh gaavai |8|

They all eulogise their own view point.
