Sanskrit Original
Ā sūryane jem koīnī barābar kahevāy nahī, tem ā Bhagwānne paṇ koīnī upamā devāy nahī. Ne āgaḷ anant avatār thaī gayā ne vaḷī anant avatār thāshe, te sarve ā Bhagwānnu dīdhu kaṇethu1 khāy chhe ne enī āgnāmā varte chhe. Footnotes: 1. 1. Mūḷ shabda ‘kaṇetu.’ Dar māse pagār peṭe maḷatā dāṇā; anna, vetan.
Nothing else can be compared with this Sun. In the same way, this Bhagwan (i.e. Bhagwan Swaminarayan) cannot be compared to anyone else. And there have been infinite avatārs in the past and there will be infinite more; they all live off the ‘wages’ earned from this Bhagwan (i.e. Bhagwan Swaminarayan) and they all obey his commands.1 Footnotes: 1. 1. This discourse reveals the supremacy of Bhagwan Swaminarayan. Swami makes the distinction between Bhagwan Swaminarayan and the other avatārs and says Bhagwan Swaminarayan is the cause of the other avatārs.
