O dear living ones, when you were in your mother's stomach, you had

the understanding of the 'Gnaan'(Divine knowledge and wisdom). Your head was in an upside down position with your legs over it. Such were the tribulations you endured during that period.

R: Do not consider the wealth to be yours, o living creature, you will have to die. Your heart(mind) is bound(attached) to this illusory existence and your soul is engaged in greed. At the final moment you will leave everything still(standing). For certain you will go naked

jeere praannee kol daeene kaljug maa(n)he aaveeyo,

jeevddo jaanne hu(n) chhutto;

lobh savaarth karavaane laago,

ne shaahjeesu(n) chaaleeyo khottore
