ਪੁਨਰ ਜੁਧ ਸਜਿਯੋ ਹਠੇ ਤੇਜ ਹੀਣੰ ॥

punar judh sajiyo hatthe tej heenan |

Then Tejhin (Jalandhar) started a stubborn war.

ਭਜੇ ਛਾਡ ਕੈ ਸੰਗ ਸਾਥੀ ਅਧੀਣੰ ॥੨੩॥

bhaje chhaadd kai sang saathee adheenan |23|

But still weak king continued the fight and all his companions and subordinates ran away from the battlefield.23.

ਦੁਹੂੰ ਜੁਧੁ ਕੀਨਾ ਰਣ ਮਾਹੀ ॥

duhoon judh keenaa ran maahee |

Both of them fought in the battlefield.

ਤੀਸਰ ਅਵਰੁ ਤਹਾ ਕੋ ਨਾਹੀ ॥

teesar avar tahaa ko naahee |

Both Shiva and Jalandhar fought and there was none other in the battlefield.

ਕੇਤਕ ਮਾਸ ਮਚਿਯੋ ਤਹ ਜੁਧਾ ॥

ketak maas machiyo tah judhaa |

There was a war going on for several months.

ਜਾਲੰਧਰ ਹੁਐ ਸਿਵ ਪੁਰ ਕ੍ਰੁਧਾ ॥੨੪॥

jaalandhar huaai siv pur krudhaa |24|

The war continued of several month and Jalndhar was filled with great fury for (the action of ) Shiva.24.

ਤਬ ਸਿਵ ਧਿਆਨ ਸਕਤਿ ਕੌ ਧਰਾ ॥

tab siv dhiaan sakat kau dharaa |

Then Shiva meditated on (Durga) Shakti.

ਤਾ ਤੇ ਸਕਤਿ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕਰ ਕਰਾ ॥

taa te sakat kripaa kar karaa |

Then Shiva meditated upon the Shakti (power) and the Power (Shakti) was Gracious towards him.

ਤਾ ਤੇ ਭਯੋ ਰੁਦ੍ਰ ਬਲਵਾਨਾ ॥

And Shiva became strong

ਮੰਡਿਯੋ ਜੁਧੁ ਬਹੁਰਿ ਬਿਧਿ ਨਾਨਾ ॥੨੫॥

Now, Rudra getting mightier than before began to wage wr.25.

ਉਤ ਹਰਿ ਲਯੋ ਨਾਰਿ ਰਿਪ ਸਤ ਹਰਿ ॥

aut har layo naar rip sat har |

On the other hand, Vishnu took the enemy's Isti Brinda seven times

ਇਤ ਸਿਵ ਭਯੋ ਤੇਜ ਦੇਬੀ ਕਰਿ ॥

eit siv bhayo tej debee kar |

On that side, Vishnu had defiled the chastity of woman, and on this side, Shiva also, having received the effulgence form the goddess, became more powerful.

ਛਿਨ ਮੋ ਕੀਯੋ ਅਸੁਰ ਕੋ ਨਾਸਾ ॥

chhin mo keeyo asur ko naasaa |

The giant was destroyed in the shard.

From that day the name (of Durga) became 'Jalandhri'.

ਜਪਹੁ ਚੰਡਿਕਾ ਕੋ ਸਬ ਜਾਮਾ ॥

japahu chanddikaa ko sab jaamaa |

Those who repeat the Name of Chandika, they know that from that day, Chnadika came to be known as Jalandhari.

ਤਾ ਤੇ ਹੋਤ ਪਵਿਤ੍ਰ ਸਰੀਰਾ ॥

taa te hot pavitr sareeraa |

By doing which the body will be (thus) purified,

ਜਿਮ ਨ੍ਰਹਾਏ ਜਲ ਗੰਗ ਗਹੀਰਾ ॥੨੭॥

jim nrahaae jal gang gaheeraa |27|

By repeating her name, the body becomes pure like taking bath in the Ganges.27.

ਤਾ ਤੇ ਕਹੀ ਨ ਰੁਦ੍ਰ ਕਹਾਨੀ ॥

taa te kahee na rudr kahaanee |

The whole story of Shiva is not done by saying,

ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਬਢਨ ਕੀ ਚਿੰਤ ਪਛਾਨੀ ॥

granth badtan kee chint pachhaanee |

Keeping in mind the fear of making the book voluminous, I have not narrated the complete story of Rudra.

ਤਾ ਤੇ ਕਥਾ ਥੋਰਿ ਹੀ ਭਾਸੀ ॥

taa te kathaa thor hee bhaasee |

Because of this, a little story has been told.

ਨਿਰਖਿ ਭੂਲਿ ਕਬਿ ਕਰੋ ਨ ਹਾਸੀ ॥੨੮॥

nirakh bhool kab karo na haasee |28|

This story has only been narrated in brief on knowing this, kindly do not jeer at me.28.

Now I enumerate the incarnations of Vishnu as to what type of incarnations he adopted.

ਬਿਆਕੁਲ ਹੋਤ ਧਰਨਿ ਜਬ ਭਾਰਾ ॥

biaakul hot dharan jab bhaaraa |

When the earth is burdened with the weight (of sins).

ਕਾਲ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਪਹਿ ਕਰਤ ਪੁਕਾਰਾ ॥੧॥

ਬਿਸਨੁ ਰੂਪ ਧਾਰ ਤਤ ਦਿਨ ਗ੍ਰਿਹਿ ਅਦਿਤ ਕੈ ਆਇ ॥੩॥

bisan roop dhaar tat din grihi adit kai aae |3|

Then taking the elements of all the gods and principally merging himself in it, Vishnu manifest himself in different forms and takes birth in the clan of Aditi.3.
