ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਅਨੰਦਪੁਰ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਵਿਛੋੜਾ ਕਥਾ ੨੦੨੧

ਪਉੜੀ ੯ : ਸੁਦਾਮਾ ਭਗਤ
Sudama 

ਬਿਪੁ ਸੁਦਾਮਾ ਦਾਲਿਦੀ ਬਾਲ ਸਖਾਈ ਮਿਤ੍ਰ੍ਰ ਸਦਾਏ।
Sudama, a poor brahman, was known to be a friend of Krishna from childhood.

ਲਾਗੂ ਹੋਈ ਬਾਮ੍ਹਣੀ ਮਿਲਿ ਜਗਦੀਸ ਦਲਿਦ੍ਰ੍ਰ ਗਵਾਏ।
His brahmin wife always pestered him as to why he did not go to Lord Krishna to alleviate his poverty.

ਚਲਿਆ ਗਣਦਾ ਗਟੀਆਂ ਕਿਉ ਕਰਿ ਜਾਈਐ ਕਉਣੁ ਮਿਲਾਏ।
He was perplexed and pondered over how he could get re-introduced to Krishna, who could help him meet the Lord.

ਪਹੁਤਾ ਨਗਰਿ ਦੁਆਰਕਾ ਸਿੰਘ ਦੁਆਰਿ ਖਲੋਤਾ ਜਾਏ।
He reached the town of Duaraka and stood before the main gate (of the palace of Krishna).

ਦੂਰਹੁ ਦੇਖਿ ਡੰਡਉਤਿ ਕਰਿ ਛਡਿ ਸਿੰਘਾਸਣੁ ਹਰਿ ਜੀ ਆਏ।
Seeing him from a distance, Krishna, the Lord, bowed and leaving his throne came to Sudama.

ਪਹਿਲੇ ਦੇ ਪਰਦਖਣਾ ਪੈਰੀ ਪੈ ਕੇ ਲੈ ਗਲਿ ਲਾਏ।
First he circumambulated around Sudama and then touching his feet he embraced him.

ਚਰਣੋਦਕੁ ਲੈ ਪੈਰ ਧੋਇ ਸਿੰਘਾਸਣੁ ਉਤੇ ਬੈਠਾਏ।
Washing his feet he took that water and made Sudama sit on the throne.

ਪੁਛੇ ਕੁਸਲੁ ਪਿਆਰੁ ਕਰਿ ਗੁਰ ਸੇਵਾ ਦੀ ਕਥਾ ਸੁਣਾਏ।
Then Krishna lovingly enquired about his welfare and talked about the time when they were together in the service of the guru (Sandipani).

ਲੈ ਕੈ ਤੰਦੁਲ ਚਬਿਓਨੁ ਵਿਦਾ ਕਰੇ ਅਗੈ ਪਹੁਚਾਏ।
Krishna asked for the rice sent by Sudama’s wife and after eating, came out to see off his friend Sudama.

ਚਾਰਿ ਪਦਾਰਥ ਸਕੁਚਿ ਪਠਾਏ ॥੯॥
Though all the four boons (righteousness,wealth,fulfillment of desire and libereation) were given to Sudama by Krishna, Krishna's humbleness still made him feel totally helpless.
