Bhairava Stotram


Bhairava  Stotram 
By
Saint Abhinava Guptha

Translated   by
P.R.Ramachander


    (Abhinava Guptha was one of the very great    saints of Kashmir   Saivism.  He lived  most probably before Adhi Shankara .Some people believe that  ADhi Sankara met him and he was  defeated in argument. This great  prayer was composed by him just before his death. It seems chanting this prayer   he entered   called  BHirava Guha  , never to come out again.The Sanskrit original of this prayer is available in http://www.kamakotimandali.com/blog/index.php?p=1026&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
And  a commentary in English   of this prayer   is available in


1.Vyapatha  charachara  bhava  visesham,
Chinmayameka manantha manadhim,
Bhairava Nadha manadha   saranyam,
Thwan maya  chitha thayaa hrudhi vandhe.

He  who is  involved  in the consciousness of 
Moving and non moving beings who are spreadeverywhere,
Who is divine , only one  ,  endless   and primeval,
Who is Lord Bhairava  who is the support  of all orphans ,
I salute  him  who is in my mind with all my heart.

2.THwan maya methadha  seshamidhaanim,
Bhathi mama thwad anugraha sakthyaa,
THwam cha mahesa sadaiva mamathma ,
Swathma mayam mama thena samastham.

At the present time , you are  completely spread in me,
And to me it appears  that  with your power of blessing,
You are always the greatest  god  who  has filled up,
My soul  which  is  completely full of   yourself.

3.Swathmani  viswaghe  they thwayi naadhe,
THena na samsruthi bheethi kadha asthi,
SAthswapi  durdhara   dukha   vimoha,
THrasa  vidhayishu  karma ganeshu.

In  this   world you are   the lord of my soul,
And because of that there is no fear  in my existence ,
And  due to that  I am not  afraid of difficulties   and sorrow,
Which are  resulting  from this cycle of birth and death

4.Anthakam maam prathi maa drusyamenaa,
Krodha karala thamam  vinidhohi,
Shankara  sevana chinthano dheero,
Bheeshana  Bhairava  sakthi mayosmi.

Oh lord   of death do not  see me,
Do not give me   that  very black angry look ,
Oh courageous one   who always  thinks of serving  Shiva,
Oh  fearsome Bhairava  , make me filled up with strength.

5.Itham  upoda bhavan maya samvee,
Dheedhithi dharitha bhooritha misra,
Mruthyu yamanthaka  karma pisachair,
Nadha namosthu  na jathu vibhomi.

Like this  for me you please  commence,
This  mingling   with the  splendour of light ,
And bring to an end the duties of the ghosts of god of death,
Oh Lord , salutations and please never  awaken them.

6.Prodhitha Sathya vibhodha mareechi,
Prekshitha viswa padartha sathathwaa,
Bhava paraamrutha nirbhara  poorne,
THwayyaham aathmani nirvruthaimemi.

Oh  ray  of light of the awakening truth,
Who is called the universal consciousness  of the world,
Who is having a nature filled   with   the divine nectar.
To you  my soul  salutes with ecstasy

7.Manasa gocharamethi  yadaiva,
Klesa dasa thanu thapa  vidathri,
Nadha thadaiva mama thwad abhedha,
Stotra paramrutha vrushti rudhethi.

Assuming that  you are  attainable by the mind,
Finding that   my body  is in state  of suffering,
Oh Lord , I am raining  this nectar like prayer ,
So that    I would  not be different from you.


8.Sankara sathyamidham Vrutha dhana,
Snana thapo  bhava thapa   vidhari,
Thavaka Sasthra  paramarmrutha   chinthaa,
Syandhathi chethasi nirvruthi dhararam

Oh Lord Shiva  , it is true  that  penance, charity,
Bath in sacred waters and meditation  breaks  the pain of birth and death,
But the nectar  like thought  of your divine story,
Would  wet  the mind   with ultimate salvation.


9.Nruthyathi ,gayathi , hrushyathi gaadam,
SAmvidhiyam mama  bhairavanadha ,
THwaam priyamaapya  sudarsanamekam,
Durlabham anya janai  samayajnam.

Oh Lord Bhairava    it is well known,
That  dancing    singing  and intimate  knowledge ,
Of you  is measured as the only good acts  to be done,
And  is not easily  available to the bad people at the right time.

10.Vasura sapoushe , Krishna dasamyam,
Abhinava guptha  sthavam imam karoth,
Yena  vibhur bhavam arusanthapam ,
SAmayathi jadithi  janasya dhayaalu,

SAmptham sthavam idham abhinava  vaakhyam  padhya navakam.

Abhinava Guptha    wrote   this great prayer ,
On the Dasami of the dark fortnight  in the month of Pausha,
And due to this the Lord  due to utmost compassion,
Quickly   destroys all sufferings of people , as he is merciful.

Thus ends the prayer of nine stanzas   written by Abhinava  Guptha.

Shirdi Sai Baba Chalisa(Hindi)


Shirdi  Sai Baba   Chalisa

Translated   by
P.R.Ramachander

(Though called  Chalisa , this  prayer has more than one hundred verses. You can find it in Hindi script in


1.Pehle Sai ke charan main, apna sheesh namaaun main,
Kaise Shirdi Sai aaye, saara haal sunaun main. 

First let  me   salute  with my head    the feet   of Sai,
And tell you  how Sai came to Shirdi  and al other  news about him.

2.Kaun hai mata, pita kaun hai, yeh na kisi ne bhi jaana,
Kaha janam Sai ne dhara, prashan paheli raha bana. 

Who is his mother  , who is his father , no one knew     about this,
And who brought  Sai up   , has   become    a great riddle.

3.Koyee kahe Ayodhya ke, yeh Ramchandra bhagvan hain,
Koyee kehta SaiBaba, pavan putra Hanuman hain. 

Some people said he is from Ayodhya  and that   he is Lord Ramachandra,
And some   other people tell that  , he is Hanuman , the son of wind god.

4.Koyee kehta mangal murti, Shri Gajanan hain Sai,
Koyee kehta Gokul-Mohan Devki Nandan hain Sai. 

Some other people say that   Sai is the auspicious   God Ganesa ,
And some other people say that  he is the  pretty boy of Gokula   who was son of Devaki.

5.Shanker samaj bhakta kayee to, Baba ko bhajhte rahte,
Koyee kahe avatar datta ka, pooja Sai ki karte. 

Devotees of Lord Shiva    worship Sai as   Shiva  ,
And some others say that he is incarnation  of Datta    and worship him.

6.Kuchha bhi maano unko tum, pur Sai hain sachche bhagvan,
Bade dayalu deen-bandhu, kitno ko diya jivan-daan. 

Think  whatever you feel about him  but  Sai is truly   God,
He is greatly merciful, the friend of oppressed  and how many people he has given life.

7.Kayee baras pehle ki ghatna, tumhe sunaunga main baat,
Kisee bhagyashaali ki , Shirdi main aayee thi baraat. 

This a news which  happened several years back  and I would tell you about it,
The   procession of tsome lucky   groom    came   to Shirdi.

8.Aaya saath usi ke tha, baalak aik bahut sunder,
Aaya aaker vahin bus gaya, paavan Shirdi kiya nagar. 

Along with them came a boy who was    very pretty,
And after coming there , he started living there in the  very city of Shirdi.

9.Kayee dino tak raha bhatakta, bhiksha maangi usne dar dar,
Aur dikhaee aisee leela, jag main jo ho gayee amar. 

After several days with great fear he started   begging for alms ,
And showed such divine play  that in the world he became   deathless.

10.Jaise-jaise umar badi, badti hee vaisy, gaee shaan,
Ghar ghar hone laga nagar main, Sai Baba kaa gungaan. 

As  and when his age   increased , his fame    also increased,
The   greatness  of Sai Baba was being sung from home to home.

11.Dig digant main laga goonjane, phir to Saiji ka naam,
Deen-dhukhi ki raksha karna, yahi raha Baba ka kaam. 

In different directions   the name   of Sai     was being sung,
For the only job of Baba was saving   the oppressed as well as sad people,

12.Baba ke charno main ja kar, jo kehta main hoo nirdhan,
Daya usee par hoti unkee, khul jaate dhukh ke bandhan. 

Any one who goes near Baba and said that, “I am poor”,
He will show his mercy on him  and would untie the tie of sorrow   of him.

13.Kabhi kisee ne maangi bhiksha, do Baba mujhko suntaan,
Evam  astoo tava kahikar Sai dete they usko vardaan. 

If some one   begs him for a boon and says, “ Baba give me a child,”
He would say “Om so be it  “  and Sai    would give him the boon.

14.Swayam dhukhi Baba ho jaate, deen-dukhijan ka lakh haal,
Anteh: karan shree Sai ka, sagar jaisa raha vishal. 

When seeing   the sorrow  of   the oppressed , Sai Baba would himself  become sad,
For    the   mind of Baba  is as    broad    as an ocean.

15.Bhakta ek madrasi aaya, ghar ka bahut bada dhanvaan,
Maal khajana behadh uskaa, keval nahi rahi suntaan. 

One devotee   from south India came     who was   a very rich man,
He had  lots of money  in his treasury  but did not have children.

16.Laga manane Sainath ko, Baba mujh per daya karo,
Junjha se junkrit naiya ko, tum hee mairee par karo. 

He started    requesting Lord Sai , Baba , please take pity on me,
You only have    to  bring near me the boat tossed by a storm.

17.Kuldeepak ke bina andhera, chchaya hua ghar mein mere,
Isee liye aaya hoon Baba, hokar sharnagat tere. 

Without the baby for my clan  , darkness   has spread in my home,
And I have come because of that  and have  surrenderd to you.

18.Kuldeepak ke re abhav main, vyartha hai daulat ki maya,
Aaj bhikhari ban kar Baba, sharan tumhari main aaya, 

Without that baby , the illusion of wealth  is useless,
Today I have become a beggar  and have   come to surrender to you.

19.De do mujhko putra-daan, main runi rahoonga jivan bhar,
Aur kisi ki aas na mujko, siraf bharosa hai tum par. 

Please give   me  a son , and I would be indebted to you for life ,
I do not have any other desire , and I have faith only in you.

20.Anunaye-vinaye bahut ki usne, charano main dhar ke sheesh,
Tub prasana hokar Baba ne, diya bhakta ko yeh aashish. 

He did actions of humility  and  obedience , And fell    on the floor at his feet,
And then Baba   was greatly  pleased    and   consoled   that devotee.

21.'Allah bhala karega tera,' putra janam ho tere ghar,
Kripa rahegi tum per uski, aur tere uss balak per.

Alla would    do you good    and a son will be born    at your home,
And he would shower his grace on you    as well   as that  child.

22.Ab tak nahi kisi ne payaa, Sai ki kripa ka paar,
Putra ratna de madrasi ko, dhanya kiya uska sansaar. 

Till then no body has    seen the other shore  of mercy of Baba,
And he gave a gem like son to the south Indian  and  made his family blessed.

23.Tan-man se jo bhaje usi ka jug main hota hai uddhar,
Sanch ko aanch nahi haiy Koyee, sada jooth ki hoti haar. 

If one prays to him with mind and body , his world will prosper,
There is no danger   in truth  and  lies will always be defeated.

24.Main hoon sada sahare uske, sada rahoonga uska daas,
Sai jaisa prabhu mila hai, itni ki kum haiy kya aash. 

I am always   his support  , and would always be his slave,
I got a Lord like Sai  , Is  it any small   achievement.

25.Mera bhi din tha ek aisa, miltee nahi mujhe thi roti,
Tan par kapda duur raha tha, sheish rahi nanhi si langoti, 

There was a time in my life  , when I was not getting  bread to eat,
Cloths were far away from my body , only the loin   cloth was left.


26.Sarita sammukh hone par bhi main pyasa ka pyasa tha,
Durdin mera mere ooper, davagani barsata tha. 

Though there   was a river in  front of me,  I was greatly thirsty,
During the bad times  which fell on me , forest  fire was raining on me.

27.Dharti ke atirikt jagat main, mera kuch avalumbh na tha,
Bana bhikhari main duniya main, dar dar thokar khata tha. 

In this world except   the earth  , there was no support to me,
And I became a  beggar  in this world and was spending my time with great fear.

28. Aise main ik mitra mila jo, param bhakt Sai ka tha,
Janjalon se mukta, magar iss, jagti main veh bhi mujh sa tha. 

At that time I got a friend who was a great devotee  of Sai,
Though he was free  from  problems, he was  also one like me.

29.Baba ke darshan ke khatir, mil dono ne kiya vichaar,
Sai jaise daya murti ke darshan ko ho gaiye taiyar. 

About seeing Baba personally    both of us   thought,
A nd became ready to see  the god of mercy like  Sai.

30.Paavan Shirdi nagari main ja kar, dhekhi matvaali murti,
Dhanya janam ho gaya ki humne jab dhekhi Sai ki surti. 

WE we nt to the holy city  of Shirdhi     and saw that  God in his hermitage ,
And as soon as we saw    the form of Sai , our life became greatly blessed.

31.Jabse kiye hai darshan humne, dukh sara kaphur ho gaya,
Sankat saare mite aur vipdaon ka ant ho gaya. 

As soon as we saw   him all  our  sorrow   vanished in thin air,
All our sorrows were gone  and the end of problems arrived.

32.Maan aur sammaan mila, bhiksha main humko Baba se,
Prati bambit ho uthe jagat main, hum Sai ki abha se. 

We  got respect and honour      as alms     from Baba,
And the light   of Sai   , got reflected  in our world.

33.Baba ne sammaan diya haiy, maan diya is jivan main,
Iska hee sambal le main, hasta jaunga jivan main. 

Baba   has given us the honour  and  respect  in our day to day life,
And I have taken the payment for that  and would live my life with joy.

34.Sai ki leela ka mere, man par aisa assar huaa,
Lagta, jagti ke kan-kan main, jaise ho veh bhara huaa.

The grace   and sport   of Sai, had such a great effect in my life,
It appeared as if  in every drop of the world , he was  completely filled up.

35.'Kashiram' Baba ka bhakt, iss Shirdi main rehta tha,
Maiy Sai ka Sai mera, veh duniya se kehta tha. 

There was a devotee of Baba called  Kashiram who was   living in Shirdi,
He used to tell the world , I belong to Say   and Sai   is definitely mine.

36.See kar svayam vastra bechta, gram nagar bazaro main,
Jhankrit uski hridh-tantri thi, Sai ki jhankaron se. 

He used   to make cloth   himself   and used to sell it in villages , towns and markets,
And always the  string of his heart     was filled with the music of Sai.

37.Stabdh nisha thi, thay soye, rajni aanchal me chand sitare,
Nahi soojhta raha hath ka, hath timiri ke maare. 

It was a dark night  when  in the cloth of darkness moon and stars were shining,
And he  held the small  packet  tightly and in her hand was a sword.

38.Vastra bech kar lote raha tha, hai! Haath se 'kaashi',
Vichitra bada sanyoga ki uss din aata tha veh akaki. 

He was returning back after      seeling cloths with some money in hand,
And his fate that   day was strange  , for he    was coming alone .

39.Gher raah main khade ho gaye, usse kutil, anyaayi,
Maaro kaato looto iski, hee dhvani pari sunayee. 

In that great darkness    stood very cruel and dishonest  people ,
And he heard the sound, “Kill him, cut him” , at that time.

40.Loot peet kar usse vahan se, kutil gaye champat ho,
Aaghaton se marmahat ho, usne di thi sangya kho. 

By hitting him and robbing him  on his vehicle  ,
For the sake  of reformimg them, he gave them all the money.

41.Bahut der tak pada raha vaha, vahin usi halat main,
Jaane kab kuch hosh ho utha, usko kisi palak main. 

He was lying there for a lot of time  , there itself in that state,
When some one  helped    him he regained his conscience .

42.Anjane hee uske muh se, nikal para tha Sai,
Jiski prati dhvani Shirdi main, Baba ko padi sunai. 

Without his knowing    his mouth   was uttering the word “sai”,
And the echo of that was  heard by Baba in Shirdi .

43.Shubdh utha ho manas unka, Baba gaye vikal ho,
Lagta jaise ghatna sari, ghati unhi ke sanmukh ho. 

From his mind    a voice   rose    and Baba  was perturbed,
And it was like      the entire thing was happening in his presence.

44.Unmadi se idhar udhar tab, Baba lage bhatakne,
Sanmukh chizein jo bhi aiee, unkoo lage patkne. 

Like a mad man Baba started   walking    to and fro,
And he was tossing all those   that   came in his way.

45.Aur dhadhakte angaro main, Baba ne kar dala,
Huye sashankit sabhi vahan, lakh tandav nritya nirala. 

At that time     in front of the burning fire , by what Baba  did,
All people  were perturbed by the great dance that Baba did.

46.Samajh gaye sab log ki koi, bhakt para sankat ain,
Shubit khade thai sabhi vahan par, pade huae vismaiye main. 

All people    then understood that some devotee was in great danger ,
And all people were standing there like pillar  and were thrown in great surprise.

47.Usse bachane ke hi khatir, Baba aaj vikal hai,
Uski hi pidaa se pidit, unka ant sthal hai. 

Baba is greatly worried today     for his sake,
And he was taking his suffering as if it is the end of that devotee.

48.Itne me hi vidhi ne apni, vichitrata dhikhlayi,
  Lekar sanghya heen bhakt ko, gaadi ek vahan aayee,

At that time the fate    showed one of its peculiarity ,
One cart carrying that  fainted   devotee   came there.

49.Sanmukh apne dekh bhakt ko, Sai ki aankhe bhar aayee.
Shant, dheer, gambhir sindhu sa, Baba ka anthsthal.
Aaj na jane kyon reh-rehkar, ho jaata tha chanchal

Seeing his devotee  in front of him the eyes of Sai got filled up ,
And though Baba’s mind    was peaceful , courageous   and as  great  as sea,
 That day  for a peculiar  reason it    became   moved.

50.Aaj daya ki murti svayum tha bana hua upchaari,
Aur bhakt ke liye aaj tha, dev bana prati haari. 

Today   the   god of mercy  became     a nurse  ,
And for the sake   of his devotee, he became a god to him.

51.Aaj bhakti ki visham pariksha main, safal hua tha Kaashi,
Uske hee darshan ki khatir, thai umde nagar-nivasi. 

In  this great test to the devotee , Kashi Ram has succeeded,
And for    being able to see   him the town people rose and came.

52.Jab bhi aur jahan bhi koyee, bhakta pade sankat main,
Uski raksha karne Baba jate hai palbhar main. 

When and if any other   devotee   gets  in to trouble  ,
Baba  immediately  went immediately to rescue him.

53.Yuga yuga ka hai satya yeh, nahi koi nayee kahani,
Aapat grasta bhakt jab hota, jate khudh antar yami. 

This is not a story   but the truth    for several ages ,
When a devotee gets in to trouble , The god himself  goes there.

54.Bhedh bhaav se pare pujari manavta ke the Sai,
Jitne pyare Hindu-Muslim uutne hi Sikh isai. 

Sai  was above all  differences and was a priest  of humanity,
To him Sikhs were   asa  dear   as Hindus and Muslims.

55.Bhed bhaav mandir masjid ka tod phod Baba ne dala,
Ram rahim sabhi unke they, Krishan Karim Allah Tala. 

Baba   completely broke    down the difference between a temple    and Masjid,
Ram and Rahim belonged to him , and so was Krishna , Karim and Allah.

56.Ghante ki pratidhvani se gunja, masjid ka kona kona,
Mile paraspar Hindu Muslim, pyar bada din din doona. 

Every corner of the Masjid was filled by   the sound of bells,
Hindus and Muslims  met there and their mutual   love grew day by day.

57.Chamatkar tha kitna sundar, parichay  iss kaya ne dee,
Aur neem karvahat main bhi mithaas Baba ne bhar dee. 

What a greatly wonderful thing he did ,  introduction   was to a body.
And Baba filled  sweetness    in the bitterness   of the neem.

58.Sabko sneha diya Sai ne, sabko auntul pyar kiya,
Jo kuch jisne bhi chaha, Baba ne usko vahi diya. 

For every one Sai gave  love  and loved all without difference ,
Whatever    any one wanted anything,  Baba  gave them that thing.

59.Aise sneha sheel bhaajan ka, naam sada jo japa kare,
Parvat jaisa dhukh na kyoon ho, palbhar main veh door tare. 

To him who always chants  the name  of this friendly saint,
Even if he has  mountain like sorrow, within no time will go far far away.

60.Sai jaisa daata humne, aare nahi dekha koi,
Jiske keval darshan se hee, saari vipda door gayee. 

None of have seen    a great giver  like   Sai,
Just be   having a sight of him , all   dangers would be driven far away.


61.Tan main Sai, man main Sai, Sai Sai bhajha karo,
Apne tan ki sudh budh khokur, sudh uski tum kiya karo. 

Sai is in the body, sai in the mind   keep on chanting    Sai, sai ,
After discontinuing the consciousness of you , start searching   for realization of Baba.

62.Jab tu apni sudhiyam  tajkur, Baba ki sudh kiya karega,
Aur raat din Baba, Baba, hi tu rata karega. 

When you leave out thinking about  your welfare  and think only    about Baba,
And day and night      searching   only  Baba,

63.To Baba ko aare! vivash ho, sudhi teri leni hee hogi,
Teri har icha Baba ko, puree hee karni hogi. 

Then dear  Baba will become worried and would be forced to think about you only,
And Baba would be forced to fulfill each of your wishes.

64.Jungal jungal bhatak na pagal, aur dhundne Baba ko,
Ek jagah keval Shirdi main, tu paiga Baba ko. 

Do not Go from forest to forest like a mad man and search for Baba,
And only in in one place  that is shirdi , you will get him.

65.Dhanya jagat main prani hai veh, jisne Baba ko paya,
Dukh main sukh main prahar aath ho, Sai ka hee gune gaya. 

He  who gets Baba is one who lives in this blessed  land,
When you get a beating eith in sorrow or in pleasure, only go on singing about  good of Baba.

66.Giren sankat ke parvat, chahe bijli hi toot pare,
Sai ka le naam sada tum, sanmukh sub ke raho ade. 

Whether   you fall in the mountain of sorrow  or fall  due to lightning,
Please take the name of Sai , and you would be in a happy frame.

67.Iss boodhe ki sunn karamat, tum ho javo ge hairaan,
Dung raha sunkar jisko, jane kitne chatur sujaan.


Please hear the experience of this old man and you would be wonderstuck,
Hearing which  people were astonished, even though they were greatly clever.

68.Ek baar Shirdi main sadhu dhongi tha koi aaya,
Bholi bhali nagar nivasi janta ko tha bharmaya. 

Once  some false saint came to Shirdi,
And the innocent people of Shirdi  were  fooled.
 
69. Jari, butiyan unhe dhikha kar, karne laga vaha bhashan,
Kehne laga sunno shrotagan, ghar mera hai vrindavan. 

He showed them medicinal roots and leaves and started giving a lecture,
“Oh  audience please hear me, my house is Brindavan.”

70.Aushadhi mere paas ek hai, aur ajab iss main shakti,
Iske sevan karne se hi, ho jaati dukh se mukti. 

I have a medicine     whose   power   is magical,
For just by taking it , you would get freedom from sorrow.

71.Aggar mukta hona chaho tum, sankat se bimari se,
To hai mera numra nivedan, har nar se har nari se. 

Suppose you want to get freedom from sorrow or sickness,
Then I have a humble request with every male and every female.

72. Lo kharid tum isko, sevan vidhiyan hai nyari,
Yadyapi tuch vastu hai yeh, gun uske hai atisheh bhari. 

You please  purchase it from me   and follow   its rules ,
And suppose   it is a useless thing , its greatness  can never be described.

73.Jo hai suntaan heen yahen yadi, meri aushdhi ko khayen,
Putra ratan ho parapat, aare aur veh mooh manga phal paye. 

Those who do not have children , if they take my medicine  .
They would immediately get    gem like sons  and also get whatever they ask.

74.Aushadh meri jo na kharide, jeevan bhar pachtayega,
Mujh jaisa prani shayad hi, aare yaha aa payega. 

Those who do not purchase   the mredicine   will repent for life  ,
For people  like me  would rarely   come to this place.

75.Duniya do din ka mela hai, mauj shaunk tum bhi kar lo,
Gar is se milta hai, sub kuch, tum bhi isko le lo. 

The world  is the  festival of two days, make up your mind quickly,
With this you would get a house  and everything, and so please take it.

76.Hairani badti janta ki, lakh iski kaarastaani,
Pramudit veh bhi man hi man tha, lakh logo ki nadani. 

With increased    anxiety lakhs of people    fell in his trap,
And he was   also extremely happy at the innocence  of lakhs of people

77.Khabar suna ne Baba ko yeh, gaya daud kar sevak ek,
Sun kar bhukuti tani aur, vismaran ho gaya sabhi vivek. 

One devotee  of Baba    ran to him to tell about this news,
And he raised his eye brows   and felt that  all wisdom has been forgotten.

78.Hukum diya sevak ko, satvar pakad dusht ko lavo,
Ya Shirdi ki seema se, kapti ko duur bhagavo. 

He immediately gave orders to the devotee  to immediately catch and bring him,
Or  drive out the imposter    from the boundaries  of Shirdi.

79.Mere rehte bholi bhali, Shirdi ki janta ko,
Kaun neech aisa jo, sahas karta hai chalne ko. 

When I am there  , how can the   innocent people of Shirdi,
How can  a debased one  do such an adventure  do such trick.

80.Palbhar mai hi aise dhongi, kapti neech lootere ko,
Maha naash ke maha gart main, phahuncha doon jivan bhar ko. 

Within no time   I  would   sent  such an imposter looter,
To  the gates  of great   destruction   , till he  is    alive.

81.Tanik mila aabhaas madari, krur kutil anyayi ko,
Kaal nachta hai ab sir par, gussa aaya Sai ko. 

On that magician   , the cruel  and unjust cheat,somewhat,
The   god of death  is dancing on his head, as Sai got very angry.

82.Pal bhar main sab khel bandh kar, bhaga sir par rakh kar pairr,
Socha tha man hi man, bhagvan nahi hai ab khair. 

Within no time completely winding up his s how, that   cheat ran  fast.
Who was thinking   in his mind   that  God is not there  now.

83.Such hai Sai jaisa daani, mil na sakega jag main,
Ansh iish ka Sai Baba, unhe na kuch bhi mushkil jag main. 

It is truth that  in this world  you cant get   a giver   like Sai,
For SAibaba was  the incarnation of God  and he canot get in to any trouble.

84.Sneh, sheel, sojanya, aadi ka abhushan dharan kar,
Badta iss duniya main jo bhi, manav sevaye path par. 

Any one who wears   the   ornaments of love , good character   and charity,
In this world    and  goes  in the path of service   to human beings,

85.Vahi jeet leta hai jagti, ke jan jan ka anthsthal,
Uski ek udasi hi jag, jana ko kar deti hai vivhal. 

He wins over   the entire world , in the mind  of the people ,
Whose   one indifference  , makes   the entire world disarrayed.
                                                                    
86. Jab jab jag main bhar paap ka bar bar ho jaata hai,
Usse mita ne ke hi khatir, avtari ho aata hai. 

When again and again the world   is filled   with sin,
For  getting it destroyed  , the incarnations take place.

87.Paap aur anyaya sabhi kuch, iss jagti ka har ke,
Duur bhaga deta duniya ke danav ko shan bhar main. 

After    destroying   the sins and injustice in the world,
Within no time he will drive away  the bad people of this world.

88.Sneh sudha ki dhar barasne, lagti hai duniya main,
Gale paraspar milne lagte, jan jan hai aapas main. 

The rain of the nectar   of love  starts raining   in this world ,
People start hugging each other with  other people .

89.Aisse hee avtari Sai, mrityulok main aakar,
Samta ka yeh paath padhaya, sabko apna aap mitakar.

Sai who was   an incarnation like that  after comimg in the land of death,
Taught    the  lesson of equality  by  destroying the selfishness  of all.

90.Naam dwarka masjid ka , rakha Shirdi main Sai ne,
Daan taap, suntaap mitaya, jo kuch aaya Sai ne. 

Sai kept the named  the masjid in the Shirdi as   Dwaraka,
And then  mitigated the sufferings and sorrow, for which Sai had come.

91.Sada yaad main mast ram ki, baithe rehte the Sai,
Peher aath hee raam naam ka, bhaite rehte the Sai. 

Always  Sai sat completely enthralled with Rama  in his mind,
And Sai  used to sit like that   for all the twenty four hours.

92.Sookhee rookhee tazi baasi, chahe ya hovai pakvaan,
Sada pyar ke bhooke Sai ke, khatir the sabhi samaan. 

Dried up , fresh   , stale  whatever may be the state   of food,
To the Sai when it is   starved   of love , it was all  same.

93.Sneh aur shradha se apni, jan jo kuch de jaate the,
Bade chaav se uss bhojan ko, Baba paavan karte the. 

When even very little is offered but    with love   and respect,
With very great interest  Baba used    to make it holy.

94.Kabhi kabhi man behlane ko, Baba baag main jate they,
Pramudit man main nirakh prakrati, chatta ko veh hote they. 

Once in a while to entertain his mind Baba   used   to   go the garden,
And in his ebbing mind  the  nature  used to make him lightning.

95.Rang-birange pushpa baag ke mand mand hil dul karke,
Bihad  birane man main bhi sneh salil bhar jate they. 

The multi coloured flowers   used to wave slowly   in the garden,
Used to fill up even a rugged and dried up  mind with love.

96.Aise su-madhur bela main bhi, dukh aafat vipada kai maare,
Apne man ki vyatha sunane, jan rehte Baba ko ghere. 

Even in that   very sweet   time ,  he destroyed   sorrow  , danger  and accidents,
And Baba was always surrounded by people  who wanted to tell him their problems.

97.Sunkar jinki karun katha ko, nayan kamal bhar aate they,
De vibhuti har vyatha, shanti, unke uur main bhar dete the

Hearing his merciful     story , the lotus like eyes   used to get  filled up,
And by giving for  every suffering   peace   used to get filled up in his  ash.

98.Jaane kya adhbut, shakti, uss vibhuti main hoti thi,
Jo dharan karke mastak par, dukh saara har leti thi. 

WE do not know what power was   there  in his sacred ash,
By wearing it on the forehead, all sorrows    used     to get destroyed.

99.Dhanya manuja veh sakshaat darshan, jo Baba Sai ke paye,
Dhanya kamal kar unke jinse, charan kamal veh parSai.

That man  is blessed   if he  is able to see   Baba in person,
And   that lotus flower is blessed if it is offered at his feet.

100.Kaash nirbhaiy tumko bhi, saakshat Sai mil jaata,
Barshon se ujra chaman apna, phir se aaj khil-jata. 

Perhaps   without any fear   the real  Sai  would meet you  too,
Then a garden    that has been dried for several years  would  again  give up shoots today.


101.Gar pakar main charan shri ke, nahi chorta umar bhar,
Mana leta main jaroor unko gar rooth te Sai mujh par!!
If I were tocatch the feet of Sai, I will never  leave it all my life.
I would make    Sai agree with me , even if Sai is angry with me.

Jai Sai Ram~~~
Victory to Sri Ram.
