dhukh vai na tin kahu kaam ||

ਤਾ ਤੇ ਨ ਬਿਨਵਤ ਬਾਮ ॥੫॥

Then the Immanent Lord called Vishnu and giving instruction to him, told, him that,

ਸਸਿ ਕੋ ਧਰਿਹੁ ਅਵਤਾਰ ॥

sas ko dharih avataar ||

ਨਹੀ ਆਨ ਬਾਤ ਬਿਚਾਰ ॥੭॥

nahee aan baat bichaar ||7||

Without taking any other thing into consideration, he should manifest himself as Chandra incarnation.7.

ਤਬ ਬਿਸਨ ਸੀਸ ਨਿਵਾਇ ॥
