THE LEGEND OF GUR^ GUGGA. 209
1005 Jin M sat raha hai, jag men phir na hatke aya.
Dekh Hari Chand; sat ke karan nahin apna dharam
ganwaya."
Itni kahke bat jabhi jhat Dharti bich samay^.
Sarad sis niwaeke, dharAn Ganpat ka dhydn.
Sang sampuran kar dia ; karo mera kalyan !
1010 Karo mer9, kalyan, Mat I main man ichha bhar pay4.
Jis din main saran lie hai bbiile chliand bataya.
Sat dip, nav khand bicb men nahin pai ten maya.
Kahta Bansi Lai ;
Mat, meri karo sahai,
1015 Char Bedon men gai,
Jo dharte haiii dhyan,
1017 Gyan dijo, Maha Mai!
Mat, Gflge ka sang banaya.
1005 Whose virtue remains will not come back to this world,*
See Hari Ghand,t he lostnothis faith throughhis virtue.^'
When he had said this the Earth took him to herself
at once.
Sarad, I adore thee;
Ganpat, I worship thee.
I have finished the whole legend ;
be ye my salvation.
1010 Be thou my salvation, Mother (Selrad). 1 have fulfilled
my desire.
From the day I worshipped thee, thou hast shown me
the forgotten verses.
In the seven climes and the nine quarters thou art not
fathomed.
Saith Bansi Lai; Mother, I have finished Giiga's Legend.
Mother, be my help.
1015 That art sung in the Four Vedas,
To him who worships thee,
1017 Grant eternal knowledge, Great Mother !
