Great is His glory whose name is great ; Great is His glory whose justice is true ; Great is His glory whose seat is immovable ; Great is His glory who understandeth our utterances ; Great is His greatness who knoweth all our feelings ; Great is His glory who giveth without consulting others ; Great is His glory who is all in all Himself. Nanak, His acts cannot be described. All that He did and hath to do dependeth on His own will.

This world is the True One s chamber ; the True One’s dwelling is therein.

Some by His order He absorbeth in Himself ; others by His order He destroyeth. 2

Some at His pleasure He withdraweth from mammon; others He causeth to abide therein. It cannot be even told whom He will regenerate.

Nanak, he to whom God revealeth Himself, is known as holy.

Nanak, God having created animals recorded their names, and appointed Dharmraj to judge their acts.

At His own court the real truth is adjudged ; He separateth and removeth those who are attached to mammon.

There the false find no place: they go to hell with blackened faces.

They who are imbued with Thy name win ; the deceivers lose. God recorded names and appointed Dharmraj to record acts.
