Guru Arjan Sahib depicts vices and materialistic pleasures binding the being who forgets Nam (Identification with IkOankar). They continue to suffer worldly pains and comforts. Corresponding to the fifteen-day lunar calendar and each pauri (stanza) correlates to each day formed by the waxing and waning of the moon. The ninth pauri states that such beings continue being engrossed in vices. They make every effort to fulfill their desires, and still, their cravings do not end. They continue to wander, unsatisfied.
