Ang 188

ਬਿਸਨ ਨਾਰਿ ਕੇ ਧਾਮਿ ਛੁਧਾਤੁਰ ॥

bisan naar ke dhaam chhudhaatur ||

At the same time, the great sage Narada reached the house of Vishnu and he was very hungry.

ਬੈਗਨ ਨਿਰਖਿ ਅਧਿਕ ਲਲਚਾਯੋ ॥

baigan nirakh adhik lalachaayo ||

ਮਾਗ ਰਹਿਯੋ ਪਰ ਹਾਥਿ ਨ ਆਯੋ ॥੬॥

maag rahiyo par haath na aayo ||6||

Seeing the cooked vegetable of brinjals, his mind was tempted, but he did not get it even on asking for it.6.

ਨਾਥ ਹੇਤੁ ਮੈ ਭੋਜ ਪਕਾਯੋ ॥

naath het mai bhoj pakaayo ||

ਮਨੁਛ ਪਠੈ ਕਰ ਬਿਸਨੁ ਬੁਲਾਯੋ ॥

manuchh paThai kar bisan bulaayo ||

The wife of Vishnu said that she had prepared that food for her lord, therefore it was not possible for her to give it, (she also said:) “I have sent a messenger to call him and the may be coming.”

ਨਾਰਦ ਖਾਇ ਜੂਠ ਹੋਇ ਜੈ ਹੈ ॥

naaradh khai jooTh hoi jai hai ||

ਪੀਅ ਕੋਪਿਤ ਹਮਰੇ ਪਰ ਹੁਐ ਹੈ ॥੭॥

peea kopit hamare par huaai hai ||7||

The wife of Vishnu thought that if Narada partook it the food would become impure and her lord wound be angry with.7.

ਨਾਰਦ ਬਾਚ ॥

naaradh baach ||

Narada said :

ਮਾਗ ਥਕਿਯੋ ਮੁਨਿ ਭੋਜ ਨ ਦੀਆ ॥

maag thakiyo mun bhoj na dheeaa ||

ਅਧਿਕ ਰੋਸੁ ਮੁਨਿ ਬਰਿ ਤਬ ਕੀਆ ॥

adhik ros mun bar tab keeaa ||

“The sage had been repeatedly asking for the food, but you did not give it to him.”

ਬ੍ਰਿੰਦਾ ਨਾਮ ਰਾਛਸੀ ਬਪੁ ਧਰਿ ॥

bira(n)dhaa naam raachhasee bap dhar ||

ਤ੍ਰੀਆ ਹੁਐ ਬਸੋ ਜਲੰਧਰ ਕੇ ਘਰਿ ॥੮॥

treeaa huaai baso jala(n)dhar ke ghar ||8||

The sage flew into rage and said : “You will live in the house of the demon Jalandhar as wife named Varinda, after getting her body.”8.

ਦੇ ਕਰ ਸ੍ਰਾਪ ਜਾਤ ਭਯੋ ਰਿਖਿ ਬਰ ॥

dhe kar sraap jaat bhayo rikh bar ||

ਆਵਤ ਭਯੋ ਬਿਸਨ ਤਾ ਕੇ ਘਰਿ ॥

aavat bhayo bisan taa ke ghar ||

No sooner than the sage departed after cursing her, Vishnu reached his home:

ਸੁਨਤ ਸ੍ਰਾਪ ਅਤਿ ਹੀ ਦੁਖ ਪਾਯੋ ॥

sunat sraap at hee dhukh paayo ||

ਬਿਹਸ ਬਚਨ ਤ੍ਰੀਯ ਸੰਗਿ ਸੁਨਾਯੋ ॥੯॥

bihas bachan treey sa(n)g sunaayo ||9||

Hearing about the curse, he was greatly agonised and his wife smilingly confirmed (what the sage had said).9.

Then Vishnu created Varinda from the shadow of his wife.

pun nirap basee jala(n)dhar ke ghar ||

Just as the lotus-leaf in water remains unaffected by the drops of water, in the same manner, Varinda lived in the house of Jalandhar as his wife.

ਤਿਹ ਨਿਮਿਤ ਜਲੰਧਰ ਅਵਤਾਰਾ ॥

And for her Vishnu manifested himself as Jalandhar and in this way, Vishnu assumed a unique form.11.

maagee naar na dheenee rudhraa ||

ਤਾ ਤੇ ਕੋਪ ਅਸੁਰ ਪਤਿ ਛੁਦ੍ਰਾ ॥੧੨॥

taa te kop asur pat chhudhraa ||12||

The demon Jalandhar asked for his wife from Ruda and Rudra did not oblige him, therefore the king of demons flew into rage instantly.12.
