Such a Brahmin is worthy of being worshipped. ||16||

He alone is a Kh'shaatriyaa, who is a hero in good deeds.

He uses his body to give in charity;

he understands his farm, and plants the seeds of generosity.

Such a Kh'shaatriyaa is accepted in the Court of the Lord.

Whoever practices greed, possessiveness and falsehood,

shall receive the fruits of his own labors. ||17||

Do not heat your body like a furnace, or burn your bones like firewood.

What have your head and feet done wrong? See your Husband Lord within yourself. ||18||

Raam Chand, sad at heart, assembled his army and forces.

The army of monkeys was at his service; his mind and body became eager for war.

Raawan captured his wife Sita, and Lachhman was cursed to die.

O Nanak, the Creator Lord is the Doer of all; He watches over all, and destroys what He has created. ||25||

In his mind, Raam Chand mourned for Sita and Lachhman.
