After Sarbloh avatar (of Akal Purkh) destroys the demon Birajnad, the wives of Bibek (discernment) sing the praise of Sarbloh, these wives which are described as ones who proliferate Dharma include: - Friendliness (Maitri) - Happiness (Muddita) - Compassion (karuna) - Equanimity (upekhya) - Truthfulness (sat) - Faith (sharda) - For more information on these personified qualities see [[Facing the Guru]] and [[Prabodh Chandar Natak]] They sing out to Sarbloh: ਬਿਨ ਜਗਦੀਸ ਕੋ ਹੈ ਰਖਵਾਰਾ ॥ ਅਉਸਰ ਸਕਲ ਮਿਟਾਵਨ ਹਾਰਾ ॥ ਸਰਬ ਕਾਲ ਸਭਿ ਠੌਰ ਸਹਾਈ ॥ ਪ੍ਰਤਿਪਾਰੇ ਬਾਰਿਕ ਪਿਤ ਮਾਈ ॥31॥1514॥3833॥ Besides the Master of the World is there any other protector? He is the one takes away all suffering. All-Death (Sarabkaal) is protective everywhere - cherishing his children like a mother and father. ਤੈਸਹਿ ਰੱਛ੍ਯਾ ਸੰਤ ਕਰਾਹੀਂ ॥ ਛੂਇ ਨ ਸਕਹਿ ਸਤ੍ਰੁ ਪਰਛਾਹੀਂ ॥ ਹਾਥ ਦੇਇ ਰਾਖਹਿ ਭਗਵਾਨਾ ॥ ਰਾਖਤਿ ਲਾਜ ਮਾਨ ਦਾਸਾਨਾ ॥32॥1515॥3834॥ Similarly you protect your saints, not allowing even the shadow of the enemy upon them. Giving your hand oh Bhagvan you protect them, preserving the honour and respect of your servants. ਤਾਨ ਨਿਤਾਨਨਿ ਮਾਨ ਜਨੇਸਾ ॥ ਸਰਬਲੋਹ ਕੀ ਓਟ ਮਹੇਸਾ ॥ ਸਰਬਲੋਹ ਕੀ ਰਛ੍ਯਾ ਸਭਿ ਹੀ ॥ ਸਰਬਕਾਲ ਰੱਛਕ ਜਨ ਸਦ ਹੀ ॥33॥1516॥3835॥ Oh Master of your servants, strength and honour to the strengthless, Sarbloh, you are the support of Shiva. All-Iron (Sarabloh) protects all - All-Death (Sarabkaal) always protects his devotes. [[Sarbloh]] Granth, Volume 2, page 644 ![[basoli painting shiva.jpeg]]
