Translation
(1) 1-1077: Ḍorī dekhī ma ḍagāvo dal samjīne sang karo re
Ḍorī dekhī ma ḍagāvo dal, samjīne sang karo re;
Sārā sant oḷkhī aval, man karma vachane varo re... 1
(1) Do not be moved upon seeing such a fraud; keep company only after understanding (good from bad). Realize who is a great Sadhu and associate with him by thought, word, and deed.
Dekhī uparno āṭāṭop, mane rakhe moṭā māno re;
E to fogaṭ fūlyo chhe fop, samjo e sant shāno re... 2
(2) Do not believe someone to be great simply seeing his ostentatious qualities. He acts inflated (proud) but he is a fake. Know what type of sadhu he truly is.
Jene jāṇjo jag moṭāī, jaḍāṇī chhe jīva sange re;
Tene moṭā māno jagmāī, khoṭā chhe moksha mage re... 3
(3) Understand that he who has worldly fame fixed in his heart may be great in the worldly perspective, but regarding moksha, they are false.
Jone Shukjīne Jaḍbharat, ko’ kene moṭā jāṇyā re;
Hatā Nishkuḷānand e samarth, pachhī sahue parmāṇyā re... 4
(4) Who believed Shukji and Jadbharat to be great during their time? Nishkulanand Swami says, “They were powerful but were only validated as such later in time.”
