Ang 1166

The people pleaded with the king, “Hear our prayer, O king. Here, take Naam Dayv’s weight in gold, and release him.”||10|| The king replied, “If I take the gold, then I will be consigned to hell, by forsaking my faith and gathering worldly wealth.”||11|| With his feet in chains, Naam Dayv kept the beat with his hands, singing the Praises of the Lord. ||12|| “Even if the Ganges and the Jamunaa rivers flow backwards, I will still continue singing the Praises of the Lord.”||13|| Three hours passed, and even then, the Lord of the three worlds had not come. ||14|| Playing on the instrument of the feathered wings, the Lord of the Universe came, mounted on the eagle garura. ||15|| He cherished His devotee, and the Lord came, mounted on the eagle garura. ||16|| The Lord said to him, “If you wish, I shall turn the earth sideways. If you wish, I shall turn it upside down. ||17|| If you wish, I shall bring the dead cow back to life. Everyone will see and be convinced.”||18|| Naam Dayv prayed, and milked the cow. He brought the calf to the cow, and milked her. ||19|| When the pitcher was filled with milk, Naam Dayv took it and placed it before the king. ||20|| The king went into his palace, and his heart was troubled. ||21|| Through the Qazis and the Mullahs, the king offered his prayer, “Forgive me, please, O Hindu; I am just a cow before you.”||22|| Naam Dayv said, “Listen, O king: have I done this miracle? ||23|| The purpose of this miracle is that you, O king, should walk on the path of truth and humility.”||24|| Naam Dayv became famous everywhere for this. The Hindus all went together to Naam Dayv. ||25|| If the cow had not been revived, people would have lost faith in Naam Dayv. ||26|| The fame of Naam Dayv spread throughout the world. The humble devotees were saved and carried across with him. ||27|| All sorts of troubles and pains afflicted the slanderer. There is no difference between Naam Dayv and the Lord. ||28||1||10||
