This
pauri (stanza), revealed by Guru Nanak Sahib, is accompanied by two
saloks. The first salok comprising six lines, proposes and establishes the perspective of Guru Granth Sahib against the backdrop of the popular understanding of ages in the Sanatan tradition. In the second salok, which comprises fourteen lines, each age correlates to each Veda, symbolically describing the prevalence of all four ages. The end of the salok imparts a lesson in adoration of IkOankar (the Divine). This pauri conveys that an individual can only cross the world-ocean with wisdom from the Guru.
