Mero Baap Madho Tu Dhan Keso | ਮੇਰੋ ਬਾਪੁ ਮਾਧਉ ਤੂ ਧਨੁ ਕੇਸੌ | Naamdev Ji | Puneet Sahani

Описание: #GuruGranthSahib is anthology of #Vaishnavism. Full of references to episodes from Bhagvata like Gajraj, Draupadi, Ahalya.

Sant Namdev Ji's hymn in Guru Granth Sahib conveys his deep devotion to #LordKrishna. Through verses, he recalls Krishna's divine interventions: saving the elephant king Gajendra, protecting Draupadi's honor, and redeeming the cursed Ahilya. In his humility, Namdev acknowledges his own perceived flaws, yet emphasizes Krishna's mercy that welcomes all who seek refuge. The shabad beautifully captures the Lord's boundless love for his devotees.

Guru Granth Sahib Ang - 988

ਮੇਰੋ ਬਾਪੁ ਮਾਧਉ
मेरो बापु माधउ
O my father Madhava

ਤੂ ਧਨੁ ਕੇਸੌ ਸਾਂਵਲੀਓ ਬੀਠੁਲਾਇ ॥
तू धनु केसौ सांवलीओ बीठुलाइ
Blessed you’re in tresses, O dusky complexioned Vitthala!

ਕਰ ਧਰੇ ਚਕ੍ਰ ਬੈਕੁੰਠ ਤੇ ਆਏ
कर धरे चक्र बैकुंठ ते आए
With quoit in hand, you rushed from Vaikuntha (Vishnu’s abode)

ਗਜ ਹਸਤੀ ਕੇ ਪ੍ਰਾਨ ਉਧਾਰੀਅਲੇ ॥
गज हसती के प्रान उधारीअले ॥
And saved the [king of] elephant’s breaths
(reference to Gajendra Moksha episode from Bhagvata Purana)

ਦੁਹਸਾਸਨ ਕੀ ਸਭਾ ਦ੍ਰੋਪਤੀ
दुहसासन की सभा द्रोपती
Dushasana, in his royal assembly, [tried to disrobe] Draupadi..

ਅੰਬਰ ਲੇਤ ਉਬਾਰੀਅਲੇ ॥
अ्मबर लेत उबारीअले ॥१॥
..by pulling her clothes; but you saved her from humiliation.

ਗੋਤਮ ਨਾਰਿ ਅਹਲਿਆ ਤਾਰੀ
गोतम नारि अहलिआ तारी
Gautam’s wife Ahilya (cursed to a stone) was redeemed..

ਪਾਵਨ ਕੇਤਕ ਤਾਰੀਅਲੇ ॥
पावन केतक तारीअले ॥
..purified. So many have received deliverance through you.

ਐਸਾ ਅਧਮੁ ਅਜਾਤਿ ਨਾਮਦੇਉ
ऐसा अधमु अजाति नामदेउ
Low both in acts & caste, this Namdev

ਤਉ ਸਰਨਾਗਤਿ ਆਈਅਲੇ ॥
तउ सरनागति आईअले ॥२॥२॥
Thus takes your refuge & enters your sanctuary.
