Rh XXXIV God created nights, seasons, lunar days, and week days, Wind, water, fire, and the nether regions. In the midst of these He established the earth as a temple. In it He placed living beings of different habits and kinds. Their names are various and endless, And they are judged according to their acts. True is God, and true is His court. There the elect are accepted and honoured. The Merciful One marketh them according to their acts. The bad and the good shall there be distinguished. Nanak, on arrival there, this shall be seen. XXXV

Such is the practice in the realm of righteousness. I now describe the condition of the realm of knowledge. How many winds, waters, and fires ! how many Krishans and Shivs ! How many Brahmas who fashioned worlds ! how many forms, colours, and garbs ! How many lands of grace like this ! how many mountains ! how many Dhrus and instructors such as his. How many Indars, how many moons and suns, how many regions and countries ! How many Sidhs, Budhs, how many Naths ! how many goddesses and representations of them How many demigods and demons ! how many saints, how many jewels and seas ! How many sources of life ! how many languages ! and how many lines of kings ! How many possessors of divine knowledge ! how many worshippers ! Nanak, there is no end of them.
