" Eyes are given (us) to see the beauty of the world.
Without seeing (thee) I go not, I swear by the holy
Guru.*
Without the holy Guru, without knowledge, sight is
worthless.
440 And for seeing (only) were the sun and moon made.
All people go to see each other's conduct.:
So show thyself to me to-day, Sil&, my beloved !"
Slid
Dal.
" Go to thy palace and dispute not.
She will meet thee and show herself, who is thy wife.
445 Who is thy wife, go and see her.
Insult me no more, thou art creating a quarrel.
My husband is abroad, the lord of my home.
Thou hast come, and see now, my home is blank
