ਲਾਗੂ ਹੋਈ ਬਾਮ੍ਹਣੀ ਮਿਲਿ ਜਗਦੀਸ ਦਲਿਦ੍ਰ੍ਰ ਗਵਾਏ।

Laagoo Hoee Baamhanee Mili Jagadees Thhalidr Gavaaay |

His brahmin wife always pestered him as to why he did not go to Lord Krishna to alleviate his poverty.

ਚਲਿਆ ਗਣਦਾ ਗਟੀਆਂ ਕਿਉ ਕਰਿ ਜਾਈਐ ਕਉਣੁ ਮਿਲਾਏ।

Chaliaa Ganadaa Gateeaan Kiu Kari Jaaeeai Kaunu Milaaay |

He was perplexed and pondered over how he could get re-introduced to Krishna, who could help him meet the Lord.

ਪਹੁਤਾ ਨਗਰਿ ਦੁਆਰਕਾ ਸਿੰਘਿ ਦੁਆਰਿ ਖਲੋਤਾ ਜਾਏ।

Pahutaa Nagari Duaarakaa Singh Duaari Khalotaa Jaaay |

He reached the town of Duaraka and stood before the main gate (of the palace of Krishna).

ਦੂਰਹੁੰ ਦੇਖਿ ਡੰਡਉਤ ਕਰਿ ਛਡਿ ਸਿੰਘਾਸਣੁ ਹਰਿ ਜੀ ਆਏ।

Doorahu Daykhi Dandauti Kari Chhadi Singhaasanu Hari Jee Aaay |

Seeing him from a distance, Krishna, the Lord, bowed and leaving his throne came to Sudama.

ਪਹਿਲੇ ਦੇ ਪਰਦਖਣਾ ਪੈਰੀ ਪੈ ਕੈ ਲੈ ਗਲਿ ਲਾਏ।

Pahilay Day Pradakhanaa Pairee Pai Kay Lai Gali Laaay |

First he circumambulated around Sudama and then touching his feet he embraced him.

ਚਰਣੋਦਕੁ ਲੈ ਪੈਰ ਧੋਇ ਸਿੰਘਾਸਣੁ ਉਤੇ ਬੈਠਾਏ।

Charanodaku Lai Pair Dhoi Singhaasanu Utay Baithhaaay |

Washing his feet he took that water and made Sudama sit on the throne.

ਪੁਛੇ ਕੁਸਲੁ ਪਿਆਰੁ ਕਰਿ ਗੁਰ ਸੇਵਾ ਦੀ ਕਥਾ ਸੁਣਾਏ।

Puchhay Kusalu Piaaru Kari Gur Sayvaa Dee Kathha Sunaaay |

Then Krishna lovingly enquired about his welfare and talked about the time when they were together in the service of the guru (Sandipani).

ਲੈ ਕੈ ਤੰਦੁਲ ਚਬਿਓਨੁ ਵਿਦਾ ਕਰੇ ਅਗੈ ਪਹੁਚਾਏ।

Lai Kay Tandul Chabiaonu Vidaa Karay Agai Pahuchaavai |

Krishna asked for the rice sent by Sudama’s wife and after eating, came out to see off his friend Sudama.

ਚਾਰਿ ਪਦਾਰਥ ਸਕੁਚਿ ਪਠਾਏ ॥੯॥

Chaari Padaarathh Sakuchi Pathhaaay ||9 ||

Though all the four boons (righteousness,wealth,fulfillment of desire and libereation) were given to Sudama by Krishna, Krishna's humbleness still made him feel totally helpless.
