1. The Ninth Divine Manifestation was Budh
He appeared in the guise of a Moghol
2. Know that with His ugly face and deformed legs
The Diwan (guest) was sandalled
3. He was equipped with a knife, a dagger, a sword
A bow and an arrow ready to be used
4. His body was purulent and leprous
Nobody would come near Him
5. A nauseating smell was emanating from His body
Such was the form under which God appeared
6. Such was the body in which the Miracle Accomplisher (1)
decided to reveal Himself
He had come to (meet) the Pandaw
7. (At the place) where the Pandaw are accomplishing their
religious ceremonies (Hom Jagan)
The Brahmins, seated, are reciting the Vedas.
8. At that moment started the Kaljug, and the Duapurjug
ended
The angels as well as the faithful deserted this world.
9. Since the Kaljug would be containing too many sins
The angels preferred to leave.
10. Then Jujeshtan, reflecting,
Asked the meaning of the Vedas.
11. Listen, Brahmins, said Jujeshtan,
The sin of having killed the Kawraw is upon me
12. 3,240,000 people were killed
And upon me rests this sin
13. Listen, Brahmins, I have a question:
What is the punishment for this sin?
14. The Brahmins answered: Listen, O King,
You have to accomplish the Hom Jagan ceremonies
15. Invite 1,000 Brahmins, O King,
Give them food respectfully in accordance with their
wishes
16. Kind-heartedly use 1,000 gold cutlery
Carefully celebrate this Jagan
17. Such are the words uttered by the Brahmins:
"In this way this sin will be forgiven".
18. Taking the Brahmins'advice, the Pandaw were led astray
And they celebrated the Hom Jagan.
19. The Brahmins added these words:
Listen, Jujeshtan, and think about it
20. A damned one will come to this place
And will make trouble
21. He will be opposed to the Jagan
And will give arguments
22. Put a guard at the main door
Nobody should get in, whether he is good or bad.
23. Bhimsen was chosen to mount the guard
The one whose cart was huge, was placed outside
24. (At the place) where the Pandaw were seated for the Hom
Jagan
The Brahmins, seated, recited the Vedas
25. (Of the noisy place) where the Brahmins were reciting the
Vedas
Shri Budh came to the door
26. At the door, Bhim was seated, with confidence
Budh Awatar looks at Bhim with surprise
27. The Lord had taken such a repulsive form
That one could not look straight in His Face
28. Then Shri Budh said: Listen, King Bhim,
Let Me get in
29. I am hungry, I am starving
This is the state in which I have come to meet King
Jujeshtan
30. Let Me ask for food and see what's happening
And watch the results of the Hom Jagan ceremonies
31. Listen, damned, said Bhim
It is forbidden to get in
32. (At the place) where Jujeshtan is accomplishing the Jagan
ceremonies
The Brahmins are reciting the Vedas
33. If you get in, it would be a sacrilege to the Jagan
ceremonies
Nobody will want to see your face, damned
34. The Brahmins are reading our Vedas
And your ugliness will cause harm
35. Then Shri Budh said:
Let Me tell you what is a damned.
36. The Divine aspect has left the Brahmins
And has taken the form of Prophet Muhammad.
37. Those who pretend understanding the Vedas which make no
more sense
Those ones indeed are damned, be well assured, O Bhim
38. The Brahmins recite the meaningless Vedas
They have no knowledge of the Divine Manifestation
39. Those who do not know the Fourth Veda
Those ones are the damned ones, you may as well know, O
Bhim
40. It is the temptation caused by the underlying interest
that makes them recite the Name of God
And this is an insult to the Manifestation of God
41. Of the present Divine Manifestation
The Brahmins have no knowledge
42. To their own interest, they speak lies
They have no conscience of the soul's salvation
43. They accomplish false Jagan ceremonies
Their greediness prevents them from awareness
44. Bhim, there is no Knowledge without Truth
Such are the damned ones, you should know, O Bhim
45. The Brahmins have knowledge of the three Vedas
Of the fourth, they have no knowledge
46. Those who have no knowledge of the fourth Veda
Those ones, Bhim, are damned.
47. During the Duapurjug, three Vedas have gone away
Eight Manifestations of God have come to an end
48. Today, I have come in My Ninth Manifestation
But the Brahmins care little
49. The damned Brahmins are great ignorants
They trample the Name of the Manifestation of Budh
50. Listen to Me, O Bhim
I am asking for food, I am starving
51. Be charitable to My weak body
And you will be rewarded for it
52. Then Bhim, pensive, looked at Him
(and said to himself:) He seems to be the Divine
Manifestation
53. I can perceive a certain form
His words seem to come from Paradise
54. Listen, O Creator, said Bhim
In my heart also lies a word of truth
55. Who, from the military class, is damned?
Tell it to me.
56. Then Shri Budh explained:
Let Me tell you about the damned ones.
57. (Are damned) the pitiless military and financiers
Who make war, who kill
58. Who separate the calf from the cow during suckling period
Who confiscate mortgage
59. Under their respectful exterior lie proud hearts
They have no scruples to kill
60. The military and financiers who are mistaken
Those ones are damned, be well assured, Bhim.
61. The financiers hide their pride
And have no scruples to alter the scale
62. When comes time for buying, they charge more
When selling, they give less
63. They are vain and boasting
It is a sin to falsify weights and measures (2)
64. They laugh at Mercy and religious precepts
Consider them as damned, O Bhim.
65. Bhim said: Tell me, O Merciful Creator,
Who is damned amongst human beings?
66. Relieve me from my doubts, O Merciful,
And tell me how one becomes damned.
67. Listen Bhim, said Shri Budh,
Here is the explanation of who is damned
68. He who, in his heart, has neither pity nor faith
Who commits ill deeds and sleeps with clear conscience
69. The one who fights with his mother or his father
This damned one, O Bhim, will go to hell.
70. The one who kills to fill his stomach

And will not reach spiritual salvation.
75. He who marries his daughter for money
Is the worst of the damned ones (4)
76. He who, with no reason, goes to people's house

79. Of the descendants of The Supreme Gur Brahma

80. Anyone who criticizes

This damned one will go to Hell, O Bhim (5)
82. He who teaches but one letter
Consider him as your master
83. He who, swearing on God, speaks lies
This damned one, Bhim, will go to Hell.
84. Bhim then says: Listen, O Merciful Creator,
Who amongst the quadruped is damned?
85. Tell me also, O Merciful,
Who amongst the winged animals is damned?
86. Shri Budh said: Listen, O Bhim,
Let Me talk to you about the damned ones.
87. Amongst the quadruped, the dog, the donkey and the fox
are damned
Amongst the winged animals, it is the crow.
88. Amongst human beings, the one who spreads gossip

89. Bhim said: Listen, O Merciful,
Who, amongst women, is damned?
90. She who plays with someone else's husband
And who does not even deign looking at hers
91. She who leaves her husband for another man
There is no worst damned woman than this one, Bhim.
92. She who plays with someone else's home
And does not like to take care of hers

101. Listen, Creator of Cycles (Jugesar), says Bhim,
A doubt resides in my mind
102. Amongst the human race, who is the worst damned
Lord, explain it to us
103. Then Shri Budh openly replied:
Let Me tell you about the damned ones.
104. He who serves God without honesty

That one is the worst of the damned ones

110. He who breeds cattle and animals (6)

126. He who plays the hypocrite

127. Then Bhim says: Lord, I'd like to ask a question:

128. Then Shri Budh openly replied:
Let Me tell you who is the best of men.

147. Then Bhim says: Listen, Lord of the Time,

162. Shri Budh went on talking openly:
Listen, Bhim, let Me tell you something
163. Go and tell King Jujeshtan
That I have come in order to be recognized
164. I speak Truth.
Because even though you celebrate Jagans, your sins will
not be forgiven
165. If you come and have My Didars
You will reap the fruits of infinite Jagans
166. Tell this to King Jujeshtan immediately (15)
Otherwise he will regret it
167. Then Bhim looked worried:
He seems to be The Lord of the Three Worlds (16)
168. The Creator has always worried about the Pandaw family(17)
This is why He has come to us.
169. Listen, Creator of the Cycles,
Wait here a moment
170. I am going to give the news to King Jujeshtan
I will give him Your message and I will be back, O Lord
171. Bhim went away and it took him a while
He discussed with the King
172. At the place where the four brothers were seated
Bhim was giving the news
173. Listen, O King, I tell you what I think
A man has come to our door
174. There is a certain resemblance
He speaks the words of Paradise
175. He speaks of the 14 worlds (18)
And He seems to be a wise man
176. He told me a lot of things
But, in fact, I could not reply to Him
177. Here is the message for you, O King:
Even if you celebrate Jagan, you will not be forgiven
178. Today is the reign of the Athar Veda
Brahmins have forgotten the 18 races (19)
179. Budh Awatar is Merciful
But the Brahmins call Him "Damned"
180. He who does not know the Divine Manifestation, O King
Is to be called "Damned".
181. When this message was given
King Jujeshtan started thinking.
182. King Jujeshtan inquired:
Sohodev, tell me who is this Manifestation
183. Then Sohodev, studying the stars, says:
Shri Karsan (Krishna) has taken the form of Budh
184. Sohodev then says: Listen to Him, O King,
Otherwise you will strongly regret it
185. Leave this Jagan, go and meet The Lord
This opportunity will never come again if you keep
sitting here
186. Sohodev said that the Brahmins have mistaken
They do not know about the Message of God
187. They greedily read the meaningless Vedas
They reject the Divine Manifestation
188. When the Pandaw were on their way to leave
The Brahmins started thinking
189. Listen, O King, said the Brahmins
How would you see this Damned One's face?
190. We Brahmins are great priests, O King
Kneel down at our feet.
191. Then Sohodev said:
Listen, O King, think about it
192. If you listen to the Brahmins
You will not meet The Lord
193. He who created the earth and the sky
Who created air and water
194. Who created the moon and the sun
Who created the 4 kingdoms (20)
195. Who created 8 kinds of mountains
Who created limitless stars
196. He created 18 Bhar (21)
And 9 reigns of snakes
197. He created 7 oceans
He created 999 rivers
198. He made all the creation appear in the twinkling of an
eye
That Lord is waiting at our door.
199. When Sohodev finishing uttering such words
King Jujeshtan understood them.
200. If you listen to the Brahmins
You will regret it day and night.
201. Then the five brothers went to meet
Shri Budh who was waiting
202. (As) the King was going to Shri Budh
The Brahmins sent him a warning
203. Listen to what we say, O King
Raise 7 black curtains
204. Get some holy water from the Ganges
And sprinkle the soil
205. Do such things
Then you can go and meet the "untouchable" (22)
206. Then the King listened to the Brahmins
He raised seven black curtains
207. As they were raising the curtains
The curtains fell down by the power of God's glance
208. When King Jujeshtan sprinkled the Ganges water on the
soil
At that moment Shri Budh pronounced words of truth:
209. Listen to Me, O King
Why did you raise the seven curtains?
210. Why do you sprinkle the ground with Ganges water?
Why do you let yourselves invaded by doubt?
211. Why did you listen to the Brahmins?
Why create doubt in your hearts?
212. If you submit yourselves to Me with pure hearts
Your sins will be forgiven
213. If you have My Didars
You will reap the fruits of infinite Jagans
214. If you come to Me with confidence
Then, at each step, you will get the benefit of
10,000,000 Jagans.
215. Then Jujeshtan, his head down, said:
Lord, the sins of Kurshetra (23) rest upon us
216. We are full of sins
How can we suddenly have Holy Vision (Didar)?
217. Such has been our thinking
For this reason we have raised the seven curtains
218. All five of us brothers are sinful
And for this reason we have sprinkled the soil.
219. Then they untied the curtains and walked to The Lord
Seeing The Lord, they kneeled down at His feet
220. They prostrated before The Lord
And then King Jujeshtan implored.
221. Mother Kunta (24) welcomed The
Lord
King Jujeshtan kissed His feet
222. Then the five Pandaw offered their joint hands in prayer
And there, Bhim remained under the protection of God.
223. Blessed was our family
When we saw the Master of Paradise
224. Today, our worries are gone
When we were blessed by God's Vision
225. May You be blessed, O Merciful
You have saved your followers
226. The great Brahmin priests have remained in the error
They made us celebrate Jagans
227. You have been Merciful to the Pandaw's family
You are Clement and Merciful
228. We are Your followers, we are sinners
You are The One Who forgives.
229. Then Shri Budh replied immediately:
Listen, O King, let Me tell you one thing:
230. The Kaljug is commencing and the Athar Veda is coming
The six Darshans (25) are cancelled
231. Then the King says: Lord, let me ask one question
Today, in the Kaljug, who is a Brahmin and who is a Jogi?
232. Then Shri Budh replied at once:
Let Me tell you about the Brahmin and the Jogi
233. A Brahmin is he who knows the spiritual
Who acts upon the spiritual
234. The Brahmin has to have knowledge
Of the present Divine Manifestation
235. The Jogi is he who understands the Knowledge
Who reaches salvation through Ginans and Religion
236. The truthful Jogi who does good deeds
Who pays Dassond honestly to the Master of Truth
237. Who accepts the Present Divine Manifestation
This Jogi is worthy of this Jug.
238. Then The Lords says: Listen, O King Dharam (26)
I am Myself the Jogi and I am Myself the Knowledge.
239. He who, today, will do good deeds
Who will know God, that Jogi is the Knowledge.
240. Then King Jujeshtan implored:
Lord, how can we reach salvation?
241. Then Shri Budh replied immediately:
Listen to My words, O King
242. The Kaljug has just begun and the Duapurjug is over
The angels and the believers are hidden (27)
243. Listen, O King Jujeshtan
You cannot tolerate living in the Cycle of Evil (Kaljug).
244. When you were fighting in the region of Kurukshetra
You killed 18 Khonr (3.240.000) (28)
brothers during that
battle
245. There, the angels and the demons were killed
And upon you, O King, rests this sin
246. Today you have to pay for it
Or else, on the Day of Judgment, you will suffer, O King
247. Then the five Pandaw have much implored
We will follow Your instructions, O Master.
248. Then Shri Budh spoke:
Go and bury yourselves in The Himalayas
249. If, today, you go and die in The Himalayas,
Then you will go to Paradise.
250. Then Bhim replied immediately:
Why didn't You say this earlier, O Merciful?
251. We have killed our brothers and taken the kingdom
Then why has the Cycle of Evil arrived today?
252. If we had known this earlier
Then we would have not held any battle in Kurukshetra
253. Then the King said: Listen, O King Bhim
How would something that is written by God not happen?
254. Do as God says
Keep the words of God in mind.
255. King Jujeshtan asked:
Who will tell us about the Cycle of Evil?
256. What is going to happen in the Kaljug?
Tell it to us, O Lord.
257. Then Shri Budh replied immediately:
Let Me tell you about the Kaljug.
258. During the Kaljug, the Spirit will be unstable
There will be 97.5% (29) of sins
259. There will be only 2.5% (30) of good
That bad will be the trade during Kaljug.
260. Then King Jujeshtan asked for explanations:
Lord, how will the world function during Kaljug?
261. How will be the kings and ministers?
How will be the subjects?
262. How will be the priests reciting the holy books?
How will be the idols?
263. How will be the warriors fighting on the battlefields?
How will be the opposing warriors?
264. How will be the good people and the believers?
How will be the generous ones?
265. What will the rain be like during Kaljug?
How will the earth behave?
266. Then Shri Budh replied immediately:
Listen, King, I will tell you something:
267. Il will rain little during Kaljug
And the earth will bear little fruit
268. Stingy kings and dishonest ministers
All subjects will be deceitful
269. And there, some stingy priests will recite the Puranr
And there, some dishonest idols will be deaf
270. Out of 1,000 people, one only will fight on the
battlefield
Out of 1,000 warriors, one only will go and meet him
271. Out of one million people, one only will be faithful
Out of one hundred thousand, one man only will be
generous.
272. Then King Jujeshtan at once replied:
Listen, Shri Budh, I have a question:
273. During the Cycle of Evil, which will be the true place of
pilgrimage?
What generosity will be legitimate?
274. What will be the fast during Kaljug?
Which will be the Day of prayer?
275. How will the religion be during Kaljug?
Where will we go to have our sins and bad deeds forgiven?
276. What will be the reward for a donation?
Where shall we go for immediate salvation?
277. What kind of people will make donations during Kaljug?
And what kind of true people will receive donations
during Kaljug?
278. Then Shri Budh replied at once:
Listen, O King, I will tell you one thing.
279. Pilgrimage (will be done) to Jamatkhana during Kaljug,
you should know
Make donation (31) to the Master of Truth
(Satgoor)
280. Fast will be on the Friday of new moon (32)
Prayer will be said, looking West
281. Donation in the form of pity will be rewarded
Do good deeds and listen to The Essence
282. He who's deeds will be pure during Kaljug
He who takes Truth from the Master of Truth (Satgoor)
283. Where there will be tolerance, faith will increase;
If you have anger, faith will leave and you will have
sinned.
284. Today, God manifested Himself in Jampudip (33)
Sins will be forgiven by going to Jamatkhana.
285. Then Shri Budh said:
Listen, O King, I am telling you about the Kaljug.
286. From the four jugs, Kaljug is different
Sins and good deeds are differenciated
287. Both the sinner and the honest one will be judged
The sinner will be drowned and the honest one will be
saved.
288. During the first Kartajug, there had been good deeds
Listen to their accounts, O King:
289. He who was charitable one thousand times
Was rewarded once.
290. Today, in the Kaljug, he who gives once
Is rewarded 125,000 times.
291. Thanks to the practice of this charity during Kaljug
An infinite number of souls will reach salvation.
292. The Athar Veda will be reigning over the Kaljug
But nobody will rely on It.
293. There will be many sins in the Kaljug
Only the truthful will be saved.
294. Hard will it be to do charity and difficult will be the
relations
Difficult will be the kings, the subjects and the world.
295. Listen, Jujeshtan, let Me tell you this:
I, personally, will be hidden during Kaljug.
296. Then Jujeshtan asked:
How can the world survive without You?
297. If You are not present in the world, O Jaduraï (34)
Then the world will perish
298. Listen to my prayer, O Merciful
Tell us where You will be living.
299. Since you ask Me, O King Jujeshtan,
I will tell you were I will be living:
300. During Kaljug, I will be living
In the hearts of My believers.
301. Just as there is life in the heart
The Lord of three worlds is omnipresent too.
302. Just as there is life in the blood
I shall be in every heart too.
303. Where the Jamat, together, will remember God
And together will recite the Knowledge (Ginan) of God
304. He who will stay committed to the Knowledge of faith
In his heart will be My home.
305. He who will have pity
He who will respect the 40 kiriyas (35)
306. He who does not laze about doing good deeds
In his heart will be Our home, be well assured
307. He who keeps his knowledge in the presence of the Master
He who confides his sorrows and his joys to God
308. He who is the most content and tolerant
In his heart will be Our home
309. He who struggles in this world
In his heart lives God
310. He who devotes himself to the Knowledge (Ginan)
In his heart is Our home
311. He who walks with humility
In his heart is Our home
312. He who constantly thinks of Knowledge (Ginan)
In his home We have great presence.
313. Listen, King Jujeshtan, I am telling you
During Kaljug, I will stay hidden.
314. Then King Jujeshtan spoke in turn:
Where will You manifest Yourself, O Merciful?
315. And King Jujeshtan repeated:
Tell us the address of Master Lord (36)
316. Then Shri Budh at once replied:
Listen to My words, O King
317. In the Indian sub-continent (Jampudip), the continent of
Bharat, you should know
In Kahek (37) I shall be
318. Gur Bhirma will be there present
His Name will be Pir Sadardin
319. (In) the Setar (38) sub-continent, the
continent of Irak
The country of Daylam, I shall be
320. The Lord will live in that country
(In a) human body and dressed like human being
321. Thus He disclosed the house of God
Then King Jujeshtan paid Him his respect.
322. While they were talking to Shri Budh
There came Mother Kunta (39) indeed
323. She had brought a food dish
The Pandaw said: Give food to The Merciful
324. Then Shri Budh replied immediately:
Listen to this first (Pratham) thing, Pandaw
325. Have dinner with Me
And your sins will go away
326. Then the five Pandaw had dinner with The Lord
Then Shri Budh's bell was heard ringing in the Heaven
327. Then Shri Budh said: Listen, King Dharam (40)
Today, your Jagan (sacrifice) has been accepted.
328. Then King Jujeshtan said: Blessed is this day
When, seeing You, we have reaped the fruit of 10 millions
of Jagans
329. O Lord, today, our sins are forgiven
When we received Your Holy Didars
330. When the Pandaw had dinner with The Lord
People blamed them
331. Then Shri Budh said: Listen, King Pandaw,
Sacrifice the holy cow to end this Jagan (41)
332. Today, all your sins are forgiven
Thus spake The Lord.
333. Then the Pandaw brothers had confidence
We shall do as You say
334. Then Shri Budh did a miracle
The Pandaw accept it upon them
335. Then a cow came down from the sky
And Shri Budh said verily:
336. Cut the head (of the cow) and pull it off
Pull off (42) the four limbs
337. They pulled off the skin
Then Shri Budh ordered
338. Then Mata Kunta (43) took the skin
King Jujeshtan took the head
339. The four brothers took the four limbs
And carrying it in their hands, they went towards
Hasnapuri
340. A river of blood was pouring
And while pouring, the blood was changing into countless
pearls
341. Every man and woman picked them up
Then a big rumour was spread in town
342. That the five Pandaw had committed a big sin
They had killed the cow and were converted
343. Then people slandered them
And at once the (Pandaw's) sins were pardoned (44)
344. As soon as they abandoned the town and came out of it
The five pious Pandaw reached Paradise
345. The Lord was happy
And there His desire came true
346. Then they wore the crown of weal encrusted with emeralds
The beauty of which was comparable to the moon's
347. Mother Kunta (45) received a robe of
thousands of qualities
And solemnly wore the holy dress
348. At here neck, a necklace of emeralds
At her feet, pearls and diamonds (were) sparkling
349. At her arms, bangles of emeralds;
Their brilliance was limitless.
350. The Pandaw brothers, with God's blessings, went away
They went to Hastinapur
351. The people of the town welcomed them
Long live the Pandaw family
352. All the people had gathered
At the place where the cow was sacrificed
353. Some of them found the leather, some found the tail
And some others laid hands on horns
354. The Brahmins' daughters, and some sailors also came
They laid their hands on cow dung
355. And thus came to an end
The belief in the sacred cow
356. Then the Pandaw reached home
They paid their respects to The Lord Narayanr
357. Then Shri Budh spake on this wise:
Go and perish in The Himalayas
358. Then King Jujeshtan much implored:
At the Day of Judgment, O Master, don't forget us.
359. Listen King, I say to you
I, personally, shall stay with you
360. O King, be convinced in your heart
Whenever you will remember Me, I shall be there.
361. Such were the supplications of the Pandaw to Shri Budh
And thus, they went home.
362. Then Shri Budh disappeared.
The Pandaw got up and went to The Himalayas
363. When God took leave of the Pandaw
The 68 temples met The Lord
364. When the 68 temples saw The Lord
The Ganges talked to the 68 temples
365. The Ganges assembled the temples
And told them Shri Karsan (Krishna) has manifested in
Shri Budh
366. When on the way came the King of Paradise
All temples fell at His feet
367. And there, they much implored and said:
Why are You sending us back, O Lord?
368. Then The Lord so spake:
O Ganges, why did you come out of your bed?
369. Then the 68 temples said to The Lord:
How will we tolerate living in the Kaljug?
370. Now the Duapurjug has come to an end, the Kaljug has
taken over
And the faithful have left this home.
371. Then The Ganges tells to The Lord:
How will I tolerate living in the Kaljug?
372. If You stay manifested during Kaljug
Then we will not leave our shore
373. Such was the prayer of the temples to The Lord.
Then The Lord became attentive
374. Then The Lord said to The Ganges: Listen to Me
I will not be manifested during Kaljug
375. In the Setar sub-continent, in the West I shall be
And there, in My Tenth Manifestation I shall be hidden
376. Then the 68 temples said to The Lord:
O Lord, we shall not be able to live in the Kaljug
377. During Kaljug, people will commit many murders
All these crimes will be committed with no regrets
378. And after committing their crimes, they will join their
hands
Their prayer will be feigned
379. They will use our name to praise us
Their sins will be upon us
380. After committing ill-deeds
They will come and walk round and round in us
381. Those ones, during Kaljug, will be the sinners
We will not tolerate to see them during Kaljug
382. O Lord, there will be sun sins in the Kaljug
We will not survive without You
383. The Lord listened to these words
He said to the temples:
384. Listen, O Ganges, to My words
You are born of the Miracle of Gur Bhirma (Allah The
Creator)
385. You are born of the Miracle of Gur Bhirma
You have instituted the 68 (sacred) temples
386. Stay the way Gur Bhirma created you
Stay in His Miracle.
387. When The Lord Narayanr explained this,
The 68 temples calmed down.
388. In the town of Kahek (46) in
Jampudip (47)
Gur Brahma manifested Himself
389. In Jampudip will live the Master Hassan Shah
The Name of the Master will be Pir Hassan Kabirdin (48)
390. Where there will be prayers and good deed
He will be there, present
391. He will be manifested during Kaljug
The ignorant people will not know Him
392. When The Lord Narayanr had given the news about The
Master
The 68 temples turned to salute
393. Then the 68 temples saluted The Lord
O Lord, tell us where we can find You during Kaljug
394. Then The Lord Narayanr said to The Ganges:
In Our Light will live Gur Brahma
395. When The Lord uttered these words
The 68 temples were overjoyed
396. When The Lord had given this secret to the 68 temples
The 68 temples went away.
397. Then each one went, through meditation, to meet the
Master Nabi Muhammad
Gur Brahma has manifested in Nabi Muhammad.
398. Then during Kaljug, the temples remained in the Miracle
of Gur Brahma
The premises of these temples were cleared out.
399. For the 68 temples, the meaning of the three Vedas
Was for the past three Cycles (49)
400. Today, the ignorants in the Kaljug are reciting the empty
Vedas
And the ignorant people will waste their time in the
empty temples
401. During Kaljug, people will bring their worries to the
empty temples
How can it be of benefit to them
402. The benefits were for the past three jugs
And now, what is left is the envelope.
403. When The Lord sent the 68 temples back,
The idols came to The Lord.
404. They fell at His feet and implored Him:
Why are you sending us back, O Lord?
405. If you don't manifest Yourself
Who, without You, will take care of us?
406. As the idols implored God with love,
God replied to the idols with love:
407. The Lord said to the idols: think with love,
Don't leave the world
408. Those who will consummate meat and alcohol will resemble
you
During Kaljug, they will much praise you
409. So spake and explained The Lord
Then the idols were overjoyed
410. Then the idols, with joint hands, saluted The Lord
O Lord, where should we live during Kaljug?
411. O Lord, now, we will live wherever You tell us
Such is our supplication to You
412. Then with love, The Lord talked to the idols
Today, the 68 temples have been vacated
413. Gur Brahma has left all the temples
Go and live in those empty houses
414. Then The Lord prepared them a residence for the Kaljug
In which the idols went to live
415. While going there, do many miracles
And show it to people
416. Do such miracles
That those who are gone astray get together there, with
confidence
417. The more the miracles, the more they will go to the
temples
The fruit (benefit) of their deeds will be taken away by
the idols
418. Eat these fruit by magic
Then they will all return to the temples
419. In the temples where the idols are being praised and
worshipped
All these praises will be taken away by the idols
420. The more they come to you
The more they will praise you and trust you
421. When the idols were given shelter in the 68 temples
They saluted The Lord
422. Of the twenty-four countries (50), of
the nine continents,
Of the 68 temples, make your home.
423. The Lord said: Listen, O idols,
Ruin the people who have gone astray
424. The prayers that will said without the Athar Veda (51)
Of these prayers, the idols will take advantage, with
love
425. Today, during the Kaljug, Gur Brahma is Prophet Muhammad
But the lost world does not know Him.
426. Today, praise the Tenth Manifestation
And praise Him in the House (Jamatkhana) of Gur Sohodev
(52)
427. Thus saith The Lord and He sent them back
And the idols were all happy
428. In the temples have come idols of stone
Go and live in those places
429. In this Kaljug, Religion is quiet
Keep your presence in all the temples
430. The Lord said: Listen, O idols
Rob the lost world
431. Today, each prayer said under miracle
Will be given to the idols.
432. He who, today, does not know Prophet Muhammad, the Master
of Truth,
That one is saluting the gods of stone
433. The world will gather where there will be miracles
This lost world will not trust the Master of Truth
434. The Lord so spake and left the idols.
Then the stones and the loose stones
435. Fell at The Lord's feet and implored Him
Why do you send us back, O Lord?
436. O stones and loose stones, said The Lord then,
O stones and loose stones, why have you come here?
437. O Lord, we, the innocent, are being hammered, broken up
and called "God"
O Lord, do justice about this
438. The words of stones and loose stones were heard by
The Lord;
O Lord, while pronouncing Your Name they will say their
prayers on us
439. To them, do our justice, O Master
We, the innocent, are much imploring You
440. All those who praise us - the stones and loose stones
Of all those praises the idols are taking advantage
441. The lost people are decorating us
Those idiots bow down before us and call us "Lord".
442. The Lord replied at once: Listen, stones and loose
stones,
Those people will slaughter you and harm you
443. Don't be sad about that
We will settle accounts with them when The Lord Master
will sit on the Throne
444. We shall do you justice at the Day of Judgment (53)
Those who praise you will drop on their knees
445. On the Day of Resurrection, We shall call them for
accounts
Stones and lose stones, obey My words.
446. When The Lord had uttered these words,
The stones and loose stones kept quiet.
447. The stones and loose stones heard it from Shri Budh's own
lips
They are enduring today the suffering of the Kaljug.
448. Now listen to the thoughts of the Pandaw
Those ones who went to The Himalayas
449. The Pandaw will say: We are abandoning our kingdom,
Thanks to the promise of the Master of Truth, we have
reached Paradise
450. Thus spoke King Jujeshtan Pandaw
Who died on The Himalayas
451. Then 90 million (54) souls left
with King Jujeshtan
They reached Paradise
452. That was the end of the Duapurjug
The Pandaw kings received the promise of The Lord
453. Thus spake Gur Sohodev
There is no end to the Manifestation of the Divine
Essence
454. Listen, faithful, said Gur Sohodev
Again, I repeat to you The Essence
455. The Tenth Manifestation was taken by The Forgiver
The Creator took the Naklanki (55)
Manifestation
456. The pre-Eternal Vishnu is The Lord Ali
Gur Brahma is equivalent to Prophet Muhammad
457. The Kaljug came with its Atha Veda (56)
Nobody understood its meaning
458. Ishwar (57) was called Adam
According to the Vedas, I explain to you the place
459. In Jampudip (58), the region of
Bharat,
The town of Duarka
460. In Jampudip lives Gur Brahma (59)
Who, today, recites the Athar Veda
461. In the Setar (60) sub-continent, the
region of Irak, the
state of Daylam
There (lives) the Tenth Incarnation, Ali, in a human body
462. Know His Name which is Ali
He will be the last Mahdi (Resurrector)
463. This Resurrector will come certainly
He will kill the Dayt Kalingo (61), be well
assured
464. Tchinab Nagri (62), in the East (63)
There lives the famous Kalingo
465. This Dayt Kalingo will be extremely strong
His army will be unlimited
466. His army will be limitless
His soldiers will be powerful
467. From China will come the Kalingo
He will come to fight in Jampudip
468. The Kalingo will have 4 million followers
They will make a lot of trouble
469. By concentration, he will go to the skies
He will feed iron horses with sugar
470. He will show the deceased mothers and fathers
He will reverse the current of the river
471. He will make mountains of food move forward
He will change water into butter
472. The Kalingo will accomplish such miracles
And there, the whole world will be lost
473. Only My followers will not be lost
Those who will have recognized the Master of Truth.
474. When the demon Kalingo will make such trouble
The Lord Narayanr will reveal Himself certainly
475. In the region of Multan, the armies will meet
Step by step, they will move forward

They too will come to the battlefield indeed

They too will go to the battlefield indeed
489. Then the monkeys will come in unlimited flocks
This army of Harmat (76) will meet there
490. The Lord's army will gather
There, the army will know no limits
491. Then from Kashmir will come the important thing
Where King Jujeshtan was born
492. 1,800,000 musketeers (77)
Will also go to the battlefield indeed
493. Valorous is the City of Oujen

Will also go to the battlefield indeed
499. Honoured is the town of Malwa
Where King Nakul (86) was born

The angels and the faithful will all go to the
battlefield

Will move forward step by step
505. Then, thousands of flags will float in the wind
And the sky will roar, the earth will shake
506. At the sound of the drums, the flags of The Lord are
floating
And there will gather bright warriors
507. Then they will come to Jampudip
The meeting (of the armies) will take place close to
Saraswati (89)
508. Then a clamour will rise to the sky
(The armies) will meet close to the river Saraswati
509. The two armies (will meet) face to face (90)
Between them, messengers will come and go
510. Then the two armies will prepare (to fight)
Their patience will be at the limit
511. Then between the two armies will sound the horn
A hubbub will rise in the two armies
512. The two armies will be very strong
In these two armies, nobody will be defeated
513. When The Lord Ali, riding on His Dul Dul,(91)will fight
against the satan,
The head of the devil will fall down
514. Then with the forked (92) sword in
His hands

battle
520. Then listen, O faithful, said the Master Sohodev (Pir
Sadardin)
I recite to you The Essence
521. Listen, faithful, we have prophesied the future
By Grace of The Lord, said Pir Sadardin
522. There is no end to the history of The Lord
But I have given you My thoughts on one side of it.
1. Jaduraï = Khrisna.
In the "Nade Ali Nade Ali" prayer, Hazrat Ali is called "Mazhar al-Ajaïb"
(The Miracle Accomplisher).
2. Other Ginans speak the same way. Vazir Gangi was
converted by
hearing the Ginanic verse "Khota tara trajwa...".
3. Monogamy in Ismailism has been adopted since its
very beginning. At
the time when Ismailis were dominating North Africa, monogamy was
rigorously applied.
Also refer to article by Aharon Lahish, "Polygamy and the Druze
Family in Israel", JAOS, IC, 1979, pp. 58-63, on monogamy of Druzes
in Palestina/Israel.
4. Women's respect in Ismailism has been assured
since the beginning,
as opposed to majority of traditions.
5. One of the fundamental principles of Islam is that
there is no constraints in religion.
Imam Sultan Mohammed Shah explains in His memoirs (Albin Michel
1955) that people are free to decide whether or not they want to
stay in the Ismaili faith, but they have no rights whatsoever to
change it.
6. Pashou
Dhor
Tchara pani
7. Contradicts in a decisive manner the accusations set
against
Ismailis regarding consumption of drugs in Alamût. Also refer to
Ginans "Sahi Samari", "So Kiriya" and the French article entitled
"Les Ismaéliens de Shougnan" (R. Majerczak, Revue du Monde Musulman,
XXIV (1913), pp. 202-218). There are also numerous Farmans on the
topic.
8. Including suicide.
9. Refers to the hypocrites who pretend to be believers
particularly
the Doctors of Law, the Brahmins referred to further in the Ginan.
10. Dassond, as the name indicates, is the tenth (1/10)
of the personal
revenue given to the Imam. 2.5% (1/40) is added as the right of the
Pir. When Imam and Pir are One, total Dassond is 12.5% (1/8)) of
the revenue. Dassond is the responsibilty taken by the believer at
his conversion. In one of His Ginans, Pir Shams says that He
converted a lion. This lion proposed to give away one tenth of the
forest in which part he would not hunt. This was his Dassond.
11. Also refer to Ginan "So Kiriya" in which there is a
clear break at
the 40th kiriya. Equally, there's a non-published unknown Granth
which resumes the forty famous Hadiths of Prophet Mohammed. This
Granth, of which only three manuscripts have survived to-date, is
attributed to Seyyed Imam Shah, and is entitled "Tchalis Wato".
This Granth was read out at the SOS Khojki Conference organized by
the Heritage Society in Toronto, January 1990. Those 40 Hadiths are
also called "Tchalis Galiyo" in the Khojki manuscript #25 of the
Ismaili Tariqah Board of Pakistan.
12. Namiya, Khamiya, Zikr, Dharam, Daya: Humility,
patience
(tolerance), prayers, good deeds, mercy.
13. Please refer to footnote of verse 133.
14. Ismailis prepare Memani (Nandi) for The Imam
before sitting down to
dinner.
15. Also means "with confidence".
16. The expression TRIBOVAR SAMI is currently used
in Ginans. It means
"The Master of the Three Worlds": the sky (Swarg), the earth
(Mratiyu) and the underground (Patal). In some cases, it can also
mean the Past, the Present and the Future.
17. "Wayis" means "generation", "family". This word
comes from the
"Wanch" family.
18. 14 worlds = 7 heavens and 7 earths.
19. Is there any relation with KHONR ADHAR? The
word used here is
WARANR ADHAR.
20. Mineral, vegetable, animal and angelic kingdom.
21. Bhar = weight, unit of measure, number.
1 Bhar = 202,176,000. The expression "Wanaspati Bhar
Adhar" refers
to the number of vegetables in the world. It equals to 18 x
202,176,000.
22. "Malesh" means "Muslim", "untouchable", etc.
23. Kurshetra = The battlefield of Mahabarata.
24. Mata Kunta was Krishna's aunt and the 5 Pandaw's
mother.
25. The 6 Darshans = The 6 branches of Hinduism.
26. King Dharam = Surname of King Jujeshtan.
27. Beginning of Takya, that is to practise one's religion
in hiding, in
silence.
28. 1 Khonr = 180,000 people.
29. Literally: 19.5 out of 20.
30. Literally: 1/2 out of 20.
31. Dassond.
32. Sukarwari Beej (about 2 times a year).
33. Jampudip = India. Can also mean "The land of
Jamp" (the land of the
recital of the Divine Name.)
34. Jaduraï = Miracle Accomplisher. See
footnote of verse 6.
35. See footnote of verse 133.
36. Gour Nar = Pir Shah
37. Kahek = the present Iran.
38. Sentardip = The Middle-East
39. See note of verse 221.
40. See note of verse 238.
41. This ceremony is surprisingly similar to the one at
which Imam
Hassan Alazikrihis-Salaam, on August 8, 1164 in Alamût, abolished
the Sharia by ordering to break the Ramadan fast and instead
celebrate Idd!
42. Joua = Jouda = To pull off, to separate.
43. See note of verse 221.
44. There is an old tradition which says that when
someone is being
slandered, his sins are forgiven.
45. See note of verse 221.
46. See note of verse 317.
47. See note of verse 284.
48. Pir Hassan Kabirdin, one of the 5 sons of Pir
Sadardin, saved an
infinite number of souls during Kaljug. One of the most important
events of his life was the weaving of five hundred yards long and
nine inches wide cloth from the cotton-like substance from the pods
of a wild plant known as aak. Using safaron, dissolved in water,
for ink he wrote in poetry a Ginan in Khojki character for the Imam
Islam Shah. This work is known as Anat Akhado. He went to see the
Imam in Kahek and presented the cloth which the Imam wore as a
turban.
49. Kertajug, Tetrajug and Duapurjug.
50. "Tchowis Moulak" = "24 countries" (Name of
