ਸੰਖਾਸੁਰ ਦਾਨਵ ਪੁਨਿ ਭਯੋ ॥

Saankhaasur Daanva Puni Bhayo ॥

Once there was born a demon named Shankhasura

ਬਹੁ ਬਿਧਿ ਕੈ ਜਗ ਕੋ ਦੁਖ ਦਯੋ ॥

Bahu Bidhi Kai Jaga Ko Dukh Dayo ॥

Who, in many ways, distressed the world

ਮਛ ਅਵਤਾਰ ਆਪਿ ਪੁਨਿ ਧਰਾ ॥

Machha Avataara Aapi Puni Dharaa ॥

Then the Lord manifested Himself as Machh (Fish) incarnation,

ਆਪਨ ਜਾਪੁ ਆਪ ਮੋ ਕਰਾ ॥੩੯॥

Aapan Jaapu Aapa Mo Karaa ॥39॥

Who repeated His Own name Himself.39.

ਪ੍ਰਿਥਮੈ ਤੁਛ ਮੀਨ ਬਪੁ ਧਰਾ ॥

Prithamai Tuchha Meena Bapu Dharaa ॥

At first he Lord manifested Himself as small fish,

ਪੈਠਿ ਸਮੁੰਦ੍ਰ ਝਕਝੋਰਨ ਕਰਾ ॥

Paitthi Samuaandar Jhakajhoran Karaa ॥

And shook the ocean violenty

ਪੁਨਿ ਪੁਨਿ ਕਰਤ ਭਯੋ ਬਿਸਥਾਰਾ ॥

Puni Puni Karta Bhayo Bisathaaraa ॥

Then He enlarged his body,

ਸੰਖਾਸੁਰਿ ਤਬ ਕੋਪ ਬਿਚਾਰਾ ॥੪੦॥

Saankhaasuri Taba Kopa Bichaaraa ॥40॥

Seeing which Shankhasura got greatly enraged.40.
