Seeing his miditativeness for the rats, even the great hermits felt shy

I shall consider him my fifth Guru, such a thought came to the mind of Dutt, the king of sages

Aaisee Bhaanti Dhiaan Jo Laavai ॥

ਸੋ ਨਿਹਚੈ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਕੋ ਪਾਵੈ ॥੧੮੭॥

Leaving all other desires and keeping only one thought in his mind, Dutt, the king of Yogis moved further

There he saw a carder carding cotton and said thus in hiss mind188

ਭੂਪ ਸੈਨ ਇਹ ਜਾਤ ਨ ਲਹੀ ॥

Bhoop Sain Eih Jaata Na Lahee ॥

ਗ੍ਰੀਵਾ ਨੀਚ ਨੀਚ ਹੀ ਰਹੀ ॥

Gareevaa Neecha Neecha Hee Rahee ॥

“This man has not seen all the army passing in front of him and his neck remained bowed

ਸਗਲ ਸੈਨ ਵਾਹੀ ਮਗ ਗਈ ॥

Rooeee Dhunakhto Phiri Na Nihaaraa ॥

ਨੀਚ ਹੀ ਗ੍ਰੀਵਾ ਰਹਾ ਬਿਚਾਰਾ ॥

Neecha Hee Gareevaa Rahaa Bichaaraa ॥

While carding the cotton, he did not look back and this lowly person kept his neck bowed

ਦਤ ਬਿਲੋਕਿ ਹੀਏ ਮੁਸਕਾਨਾ ॥

Data Biloki Heeee Muskaanaa ॥

ਖਸਟਮ ਗੁਰੂ ਤਿਸੀ ਕਹੁ ਜਾਨਾ ॥੧੯੦॥

Khsattama Guroo Tisee Kahu Jaanaa ॥190॥

Seeing him, Dutt smiled in his mind and said, “I accept him as my sixth Guru.”190.
