People (bhaneeai) talk of the three the ages of Satjug, Treyta and Duaapar, but the fourth, Kalijug is (ootmo) sublime (maah-i) amongst all (jugaa) the ages.
In the earlier ages deeds of one person affected those of his/her ilk; but in Kalijug, what (ah-i) this (kar-u = hand) person (karey) does, the same hand/person (paaey = gets) faces the consequences; (koee na) no one (pakrreeai) is caught (thaaey) in place of (kisai) someone else. Note: It is unlike earlier ages when the whole community suffered for fault of one person. Kaliyug is the age of natural justice. 3.

Similarly, one who has (bhram) delusion (bheetar-i) within, i.e. lacks belief/obedience of God, (bhramio = wanders) goes through (anik) numerous (jon-i) life forms, because s/he does not get (parveysa = entry) to be in (sukhah-i) peace, i.e. does not settle down by union with the Creator. 1.

Only (soee) that person (paaey) receives (nidhaan-u) the treasure, i.e. becomes aware of (naam-u) Divine commands – as guide for life, on whom (prabh-u soey) the Almighty (kripa karey) bestows grace.
