3 Initiation by drinking of the Pahul is a rite established
4 by GooROO GoviND, and is thus described by Khoosh-
5 wuQT Raee. The candidate and the initiator wash their
6 feet with water, and then put sugar into the liquid and stir
7 it with a knife, while they repeat five quatrains, the first of
8 which runs as follows :
9 Surawuk sidh sumoh sidhanuk dekh phiryo ghur Jogee Jutee Kee,
10 Soor surawuk sidh surawuk sunt sumoh uuek mutee kee —
11 Sare hee desko dekh phiryo mut kooo nu dekhut pranputee kee
12 Sree Bhugwan kee Bhuye kripa bin ek rutee bin ek rutee kee.
13 I have been round and hare seen all kinds of devotees, Jogees and Jutees,
14 Holy men, practisers of austerities, men wrapped up in contemplation of
15 the Divinity with all their many ways and habits,
16 Everj' country have I travelled over, but the truly godly I have seen no
17 where,
18 Without the grace of God, friend, Man's lot weighs not the lowest fraction.
19 The other quatrains are very nearly to the same effect, we
20 add the whole in the original character for the benefit of the
21 curious, but do not think it worth while to translate the
22 remainder,
