End of the adoption of Man (mind) as the second Guru.
Now begins the description of adopting Spider as the Third Guru
CHAUPAI
The way (Datta) assumed twenty-four Gurus,
Listen not to the manner in which Dutt adopted twenty-four Gurus
Dutt saw a spider ('Makarka').
He saw a spider and reflected in his mind.176.
Made such an idea in his mind
Contemplating in his mind, he said this, “I consider it my third Guru
(Like this spider when) the thread of the Sutra of love should be extended
When the thread of love will extend, then only the Lord (Nath Niranjan-the unmanifested Brahman) will be realized.”177.
(The spider sees itself in the web) in the same way as (the jigyasu) sees itself (within) itself.
Then the spirit form of the Guru is seen from within.
(when) leaving one (the mind) will not run elsewhere,
When the self will be visualized and within oneself the soul-Guru will be touched and the mind will not go anywhere else, leaving the ONE, then only the Supreme Essence will be realized.178.
Accept one form as one
And do not see the love of duality.
Don't leave the desire of one and run to another,
When the form of one will be considered and seen as One and no other thought will come into the mind and keeping one objective before oneself, the mind will not run anywhere else, then the Lord (Nath Niranjan---the unmanifested Brahman).179.
Let him absorb his form only in his form (body).
Do not be engrossed in other (rasas) leaving one juice.
(He) should fix (his) attention in the Supreme Being,
When the merger will be in only one and the mind will not be obsurbed in anyone else accept the ONE and meditate only on the supreme esselce, then it will realise the lord ( Nath Niranjan-the Unmanifasted brahman) 180
(Thus) the third Guru accepted Makarka
Accepting the spider as the third Guru, the glorious Dutt moved further
The meaning of that (spider) was thus conceived in the heart,
Getting greatly pleased, he moved forward, adopting their connotation in his heart.181.
End of the adoption of Spider as the third Guru.
Now begins the description of the fourth Guru Crane.
CHAUPAI
When Datta Guru walked forward,
When Dutt moved forward, then after seeing the swarm of fish, he saw towards the meditating crane
He has a white complexion and is very attentive.
His limbs were extremely white and seeing him all the silence-observing creatures felt shy.182.
As the fish (heron to catch) concentrates,
The meditation that was being observed by the crane, made his name shameful because of his meditativeness for fish
As he carefully observes,
He was observing meditation very nicely and with his silence, he was pleasing the sages.183.
(If) such meditation is applied to (attain) God,
If such a medittativeness is observed for the sake of that Lord, He is realized in that way
Dutt's heart became envious after seeing the fish catcher (heron).
Seeing the crane, Dutt was allured towards him and he accepted him as his fourth Guru.184.
End of the description of the adoption of Crane as the fourth Guru.
Now begins the description of the fifth Guru Tom Cat
CHAUPAI
Shrestha Muni Dutt went ahead
Dutt, the king of sages, having matted locks on his head, moved further
Going forward, he saw a bill,
