Thou hast recited the name of Brahma and established Shivalingam, even then none could save thee.
Thou hast observed millions of austerities for millions of days, but thou couldst not be recompensed even for the value of a couldst not be recompensed even for the value of a cowrie.
The Mantra recited for fulfillment of worldly desires doth not even bring the least gain and none of such Mantras can’t save from the blow of KAL.97.
Why doth thou indulge in false austerities, because they will not bring in gain of even one cowrie.
The cannot save themselves form the blow (of KAL), how can they protect thee?
They are all hanging in the blazing fire of anger, therefore they will cause thy hanging similarly.
O fool! Ruminate now in thy mind; none will be of any use to thee except the grace of KAL.98.
O foolish beast! Thou doth not recognize Him, Whose Glory hath spread over all the three worlds.
Thou worshippest those as God, by whose touch thou shalt be driven far away from the next world.
Thou art committing such sins in th name of parmarath (the subtle truth) that by committing them the Great sins may feel shy.
O fool! Fall at the feet of Lord-God, the Lord is not within the stone-idols.99.
The Lord cannot be realized by observing silence, by forsaking pride, by adopting guises and by shaving the head.
He cannot be realized by wearing Kanthi (a short necklace of small beads of different kinds made of wood or seeds worn by mendicants or ascetics) for severe austerities or Thy making a knot of matted hair on the head.
Listen attentively, I speak Turth, Thou shalt not achieve the target without going under the Refuge of the LORD, Who is ever Merciful to the lowly.
God can only be realized with LOVE, He is not pleased by circumcision.100.
If all the continents are transformed into paper and all the seven seas into ink
By chopping all the vegetation the pen may be made for the sake of writing
If the goddess Saraswati be made the speaker (of eulogies) and Ganesha be there to write with hands for millions of ages
Even then, O God! O sword-incannate KAL! Without supplication, none can make Thee pleased even a little.101.
Here ends the First Chapter of BACHITTAR NATAK entitled The Eulogy of Sri KAL.’1.
AUTOBIOGRAPHY
CHAUPAI
O Lord! Thy Praise is Supreme and Infinite,
None could comprehend its limits.
O God of gods and King of kings,
The Merciful Lord of the lowly and protector of the humble.1.
DOHRA
The dumb utters the six Shastras and the crippled climbs the mountain.
The blind one sees and the deaf listens, if the KAL becomes Gracious.2.
CHAUPAI
O God! My intellect is trifling.
How can it narrate Thy Praise?
I cannot (have sufficient words to) praise Thee,
Thou mayst Thyself improve this narration.3.
Upto what limit this insect can depict (Thy Praises)?
Thou mayst Thyself improve Thy Greatness.
Just as the son cannot say anything about the birth of his father
Then how can one unfold Thy mystery.4.
Thy Greatness is Only Thine
It cannot be described by others.
O Lord! Only Thou knowest Thy doings.
Who hast the power to elucidate Thy High of Low acts? 5.
Thou hast made one thousand hoods of Sheshanaga
Which contain two thousand tongues.
He is reciting till now Thy Infinite Names
Even then he hath not know the end of Thy Names.6.
What can one say about Thy doings?
One gets puzzled while understanding it.
Thy subtle form is indescribable
(Therefore) I speak about Thy Immanent Form.7.
When I shall observe Thy loving Devotion
I shall then describe all Thy anecdotes from the beginning.
Now I narrate my own life-story
How the Sodhi clan came into being (in this world).8.
DOHRA
With the concentration of my mind, I narrate in brief my earlier story.
Then after that, I shall relate all in great detail.9.
CHAUPAI
In the beginning when KAL created the world
It was brought into being by Aumkara (the One Lord).
Kal sain was the first king
Who was of immeasurable strength and supreme beauty.10.
Kalket became the second king
And Kurabaras, the third.
Kaldhuj was the fourth kin
From whon the whole world originated. 11.
He had a thousand eyes and thousand feet.
He slept on Sheshanaga
Therefore he was called the master of Shesha.12.
Out of the secretion from one of his ears
Madhu and Kaitabh came into being.
