What Does Shabad 'renka' Mean?


Recommended Posts

sat sri akal sangat ji,

i needed help.

pehle marn kabool jeevan ki chad aas ho sabna ki renka to ao hamare paas...

i couldn't understand what does renka mean, i tried looking up mahan kosh and it says it means 'dhool' and it also is the name of parshuram's mother.

can somebody suggest what is the meaning of the last half of the shabad in relation to renka.

and sorry for writing the tuk in english, i couldn't find it in gurmukhi on the net.

bhul chuk maaf karna ji.

I understood 'renka' to mean 'dust of the feet' as 'sabhna' means 'all'. So 'sabhna ki renka' translates as 'dust of the feet of all' which represents humility as far as I understand.

This shabad can be found on ang 1102. Here's the link http://www.searchgurbani.com/guru_granth_sahib/ang/1102
