Var-41
One Oankar, primal energy, realized through the grace of divine preceptor.
Pauri-1 Ramkali Var in praise of Sri Bhagauti ji- The Sword- and the tenth master.
God established the true congregation as his celestial throne. Guru Nanak illuminated the Siddhas with the true form of the fearless and formless one. The Guru in his tenth form entreated the Shakti, the integrity by bequeathing the nectar through the double edged word. Quaffing the nectar of Double-edged sword accomplish the worth of your birth. While the egocentric remains in duality, the Khalsa, the pure ones, enjoy the association of the Guru. Hail, hail Gobind Sings ; He Himself is the master and Disciple too.
Pauri-2 O the beloved of the Guru, listen to the Eternal and True message of Guru Gobind Singh. When one joins the holy congregation, the five vices are liquidated. In the congregation no respect is accorded to the ones who disregard their spouses. But the Guru’s Sikh remains unblemished in the Court of Righteousness. And sequentially, always, meditate on Godly Guru Gobind Singh in the ambrosial hour. Hail,hail Gobind Singh, He, Himself is master and disciple too.
Pauri-3 Egoism pervades the affairs of the whole universe. Those are only Gurmukhs who bow to the celestial order. But the rest, forgetting why they came,are downed in falsehood and duality. Those who have the blessing of God’s Name, have His own support. The Gurmukh enjoys the worth of his birth right whereas the egocentric remains in duality. Hail, hail Gobind Singh, He , Himself is the Master and disciple too.
Pauri-4 The Celestial Word is for them whose divine writ is blessed. The egocentric is like a derelic woman but the fortunate is the Gurmukh one. The Gurmukh is the epitome of a white swan whereas the black crow represents an egocentric. The egocentric resembles the withered lotus but the Gurmukh is full bloom. Whereas the dissenter remains in transmigration, the Gurmukh is assimilated in Har. Hail,hail Gobind Singh; He, Himself is master and disciple too.
Pauri-5 True is the Lord and True His Gurbani, the Celestial Word. Infused in the true, celestial delight is gained. They who endeavour for the True recognition relish the bliss. The egocentric are condemned to the hell, and their bodies are crushed by the oil press. The Gurmukh’s birth brings contentment while the egoistic wander in duality. Hail, hail Gobind Singh; He, Himself is Master and Disciple also.
Pauri-6 True Name,the Word, is precious, and is grasped only by the fortunate ones. In the True Assembly by, always singing His praises. In the field of righteousness in the Kal-age, one crops what one sows. The True Lord, like straining water,assesses Truth through justice. Truth prevails in the congregation, and unique is His everlasting affinity. Hail,hail Gobind Singh; He, Himself is Master and Disciple too.
Pauri-7 Har, the one and Only God is prevailing now and shall be. He, Himself is the Creator, and is savoured through the Guru’s Word. Without any veneration, He produces as well as decimates in an instant. In the kal-age, by administering service to the Guru,the distress troubles not. Whole universe is your presentation,and You are the ocean of benevolence. Hail, hail Gobind Singh; He, Himself is the Master and Disciple too.
Pauri-8 The Primal Being is an absolute perception, and without Guru His goals are unapproachable. He, the infinite Primal Being, is not discernible through temporal attitude. He neither perishes, nor needs any favours,and therefore, must always be remembered. As with service to the True One, the fear free posture is earned. He, the only one,has manifested in myriad of forms. Hail, hail Gobind Singh,; He,Himself is Master and Disciple also.
Pauri-9 The indestructible infinite-being is apparent in all the fragments. The vices, He obliterates, and the oblivious one can forget Him not. Har, the all knowing Timeless, cannot be disturbed but can be experienced through the Guru’s Word. He is omnipresent but non-aligned,and the illusion attracts Him not. The Gurmukh converges on the Nam and conveniently swims across the mundane sea. Hail, hail Gobind Singh; He, Himself is Master and the Disciple too.
Pauri-10 Recognise the Formless, the One with compassion for humanity,who is the treasure of benevolence and sans eternity. Day and night with diligent mind sing the praises of emancipating Lord. To escape the hell, recollect the One who prevents the hell and wipes out the torments. As with service to the True One, the fear free pasture is earned. He,the only one has manifested in the myriad of forms. Hail, hail Gobind Singh; He, Himself is Master and the Disciple also.
Pauri-11 God Almighty is the Immaculate and Supreme Being. Knowing all, He is the savour of fallen ones. Beholding all, He is prudent and bountiful in charity. Spirit of forests You are mother and the father. Invaluable human form, it is time to join with Him. Hail, hail, Gobind Singh; he, Himself is Master and the Disciple too.
Pauri-12 Remember the destroyer of anxiety ,and worship the obliterate of licentiousness. The Cherisher of His Devotees, destroys their afflictions, and makes them, the ones in meditation, for ever without any malady. His alluring demeanour grants emancipation and chances a amalgamation with God. He, Himself is the Admirer, the Protector, and the Creator; and He proceeds the way He wishes. God, the liberator of destiny, is the adversary of ego and duality, and luxuriates in multitude of plays. Hail, hail Gobind Singh; He, Himself is the Master and the Disciple also.
Pauri-13 He is realiser of desires, and is the destinies scribe. Har is coloured with the dye of his devotees love,and being True He deals in the Truth. Worthy of meditation, He is Kind,and is equally integrated in males and females. Deliberate on Rishikesh, and His manifestation in Raghunath and mediate on Banwari- Lord Krishna. Har, the Supreme Soul destroys fear, meditate and pacify the mind. Hail, hail Gobind Singh; He, Himself is the Master and the Disciple too.
Pauri-14 The life patron of Puranas, is the perfect Supreme Soul. Har,the Sustaining Lord, is not deficient in protection. Hail! Manifested is the Supreme Being in the countenance of gallant Guru Gobind Singh, who is spectacular,and with his marvels, profusely He is satguru- the True Lord. Remember day and night,the virtues of Har who,at the times honest, endows truth. Hail, hail Gobind Singh; He, Himself is the Master and the Disciple too.
Pauri-15 Guru Gobind Singh manifested as the tenth incarnation. He inspired the meditation upon the imperceptible, timeless and flawless Creator. And initiated the Khalsa Panth, the Religious Path of Righteousness, and bequeathed scintillating splendour. Head high with full tresses, and the sword in hand eliminated the adversaries. Wearing the breaches, the symbol of chastity, raised the arms. Roaring the war cries of Victory to the Guru, prevailed in the immense battlefields. Rounded up all the devilish foes and annihilated them. And then docilely manifested the appraisal of great Guru in the world. Thus descended the young Singhs, the lion, like the rain shower from the blue sky, who eliminated all the Turk foes and promoted the God’s Name. None dared to face them, and all the chieftains took to their heels. The Kings, sovereigns, and emriates, all of them were decimated. With high pitched drum beats of victory, even the mountains shuddered. The upheaval ruffled the earth and people forsook their domiciles. In such a conflict and distress, the world was absorbed . And there was none else than the True Gutu who could eradicate the fright. He, the True Guru, beholding the sword, displayed the feats bearable to none. Hail,hail Gobind Singh; He, Himself is the Master and the Disciple.
Pauri-16 With the command of the Timeless, the Supreme True Guru, proclaimed the self-realisation. And then, steadfastly, created Khalsa, the righteous ones, with the undefiled human form. The Singhs rose up roaring and the whole world was over awed. They decimated and raised to the ground the ritualistic cemetries, crematorium, temples and mosques. Compulsive reading of Vedas, Puranas, Six Shastras, and Quran was abolished. Baangs, the calls for muslim prayers, were ousted and the Kings were abolished. Temporal and spiritual leaders were obscured and allthe religions became topsy-turvy. The Muslim priests and justices deciphered hard but could not comprehend dissolution. Millions of Brahmin scholars and astrologers were venomously entangled. And were drowned in extreme fallacies of worshipping the idols and gods. Thus, both the ignorant faiths, muffled in hypocrisy, were lagged behind. Then the third religion, Khalsa, manifested triumphantly. By the command of Guru Gobind Singh, they brandished the sword held high. They exterminated all scoundrels and order of Timeless One. And this way they revealed the command of the Timeless in the world. Turks, the muslims, dreaded and none actuated the circumcision. Consequently, the following of Mohammed submerged in ignorance. Then the drum beats of victory terminated all the adversaries. And thus was proclaimed the great and valorous Third Faith. Hail, hail Gobind Singh; He, Himself is the Master and the Disciple too.
Pauri-17 Brave and stalwart Singhs awoke and obliterated all the enemies. Muslim faith evaporated and Hindu’s remained in scarcity. Neither there was any body to recite the Muslim Verses nor there was talk of Allah, the Muslim God. Neither any one called for Nimaz, nor they said Darrod- the benedictions. Fatima was remembered not and none revelled in circumcision. This path of shariyat erased, muslims were perplexed. By applauding all and sundry, the Guru exhibited the operation of Truth. And then he stimulated brave warrior Singhs in hundreds of thousands. They picked all the cruel Turks in the world, and plundered and liquidated them. Thus there prevailed the universal serenity and disregard for tribulations. Then circulated Guru Gobind’s order to reflect upon the Timeless One. The sovereignty of the Fearless predominated and justice was determined by the Truth. Thus incarnating in Kaliyuga, he unfolded satyuga. Abolishing all the Turks and barbarians, he inspired fidelity. The ailments were driven away from the entire world and blessings conferred. Thus the Creator’s order was enacted and all the contentions effaced. Then consistently the righteousness manifested and the praises of Har were articulated. Hail!, The Impervious Being was manifested and heralded as the one and only hero. Hail, hail Gobind Singh, He, Himself is the Master and the Disciple too.
Pauri-18 Himself, the True Guru invoked Fateh, the greeting of victory, and spread the divine light . The falsehood and maliciousness vanished and truth triumphed. Desisting from the rituals of yajna and havan, righteousness was promoted. All the contentions of Turks were eliminated, and the Khalsa ovation was permeated. Thus the promulgated Singhs, the emphatic and the righteous ones. The whole world was brought to order and they meditated upon the magnanimous invisible. Deliberating the Guru’s Righteous- path, celestial light beamed and the darkness of ignorance was effaced. And then the happiness, welfare and bliss prospered in the whole world. The emancipator Guru the incantation of Har, Wahiguru, God the Supreme, Har,Wahiguru. The ones who meditates with devotion, realise the sublime court. Embrace all the feet of Guru and get rid of perplexities. Only the egocentric and the false ones get punished in the Righteous Court. Only then, who ponder over Har, accomplish the astral heights and the rest remains fruitless. By controlling the inconsistent mind, remember the Creator. Then with the heavenly command,one overwhelms the tenth door of inner soul. And intuitively presents himself in the Godly domain for spiritual judgement. Sequentially, in the heaven, his spiritual evaluation is appreciated. Hail, hail Gobind Singh;He, Himself is the Master and the Disciple also.
Pauri-19 Hail! God’s disciple was born and recognised as a great hero. He triumphed over the whole world and unfurled the sacred flags. Protected all the Singhs, and endowed them with bliss. Then controlled the entire society, and explained the commands. Promoted good order in the world and inspired exhilaration. Mediated and ruminated over the Timeless One, and glorified Har, the God Almighty. Exalted Guru Gobind Singh instituted mighty crusading Singhs. Thus abounded in the world, Khalsa, the righteous ones, and the heretics were deluded. The mighty Singhs rose and made their arms to shine. All the Turks were subjugated and made to ponder over the Timeless. Putting aside all the Kshatriyas, they let them had no peace. The righteousness manifested the world and Truth was proclaimed. Eradicating the influence of twelve centuries,the Guru’s slogan ravelled, which indulgently invalidated all the enemies and barbarians, and the hypocrisy took to its wings. The world was won over thus and truth was crowned, and set on its throne. The world was consoled,and the devotees were induced towards Har. All the humanity was blessed and the afflictions were wiped out. Then with the eternal benediction, the anxiety in the world was alleviated. Gurdas, leaning on the door, was eulogising this. Oh my True Lord !Please save me from the trepidation of Yama. Enable me, the servant of the servants, to earn the favour of the Guru, so that all the restraints are erased, and one retreats not to the hell. Har was always anxious for his devotees and , thus the devotees union was obvious. Hail, hail Gobind Singh, He, Himself is the Master and the Disciple too.
Pauri-20 The siants and devotees, who are the Sikhs of Guru, have come for the deliverance of the world. And these generous ones are causing the world meditate upon the Guru’s incantation. The Sewak, the devoted adherent, who meditates on the Naam of Creator is sanctified. With deliberation, penance, and austerity, the devotee achieves godliness. And abandon sensuality, wrath,greed, arrogance, and infatuation. He reforms with capable strategy, and domineers the mind wavering wind. Six spheres overpowered he eventually, overwhelms the divine heights. Then he proceeds, with honour, towards the heavenly abode with a virtuous appearance. One who narrates the glory of Guru Nanak, is the bravest of all. And the one who recounts the Epic of Bhagauti attains the Eternal Starus. Neither he faces the distress nor repentance; rather he prevails in bliss. Whatever he desires, he achieves and, through his heart, invokes the invisible. For that he, day and night, recounts this Epic form his mouth. To earn freedom from the urge for material things attains salvation and flies to rapturous heights. There remains no challenge to Yamas, and Righteousness eliminates all the transgressions. No punishement of the Yama remains effective, and the adversities become not troublesome. Hail, hail Gobind Singh; He, Himself is the Master and the Disciple.
Pauri-21 Guru Nanak, the embodiment of God Himself permeated this godly operation. And involved the sacred writ on Guru Angad.. In the first manifestation, he expounded the Naam. And the second Guru sang the benevolence of Har. In the Third revelation, Amar Das captured th emind with Eternal Word by which he envisaged the Lord God in his heart. He served his True Guru b y fetching water to Guru’s abode, and thus obtained the divine throne. In the fourth personification ,appeared Guru Ram Das, who recapitulated the faultless Immortal -being, and confirmed fifth pontification upon Guru Arjan, who with treasure of the nectarous Word, compiled the Granth. Creating the Granth, he pronounced the whole world to reiterate the Sermons. And with the Sermons from the Granth, the world emancipated But the emancipated were those who, day and night, recollected the Naam. Then was embodied Guru Hargobind, the Sixth master, who with sword held high prostrated the enemies. He made the minds of mUslim rulers demented; and for the sake of devotees he rose and initiated the war of attrition and thus exclaimed Gurdas; O my True Guru, You grant me redemption.
Pauri-22 The impervious God personified Har Rai as the seventh Master. He had ascertained from the Desireless Lord,and achieved eminence. Ascending form the celestial care he remained absorbed in the Almighty,and always sat unperturbed in contemplation, acquired all the faculties but remained latent, and to none he revealed his personal-self. Thus, he elevated his prominence of the Holy Spirit. The potent and courageous Guru harkrishan became the eight Master, who abandoned his temporal being in Delhi. Becoming apparent, at the age of innocence, he displayed ingenuity. And serenly relinquished the body and ascended to heaven. Thus slamming ignominy on the heads of Mughal Rulers. He, Himself reached the Court of Righteousness with honour. Thence on Aurangzeb initiated the altercation and earned the desolation of his lineage. By quarrelling and squabbling the Mugals decimated each others. That was the way, all the sinners trailed to the hell. And thus exclaimed Gurdas; O my true Guru, You grant me redemption.
Pauri-23 Above us all, Guru Nanak is the paramount. Meditating on whom, all the missions are accomplished. Then Guru Tegh Bahadur performed the wonderment. Liberated the world by sacrificing his head. This way left the Mughals in bewilderment. As he did not demonstrate the power of his manifestation. And acquiescing to the God’s Will he realised the Heavenly Court . The True Guru, thus revealed his kind indulgence. The Mughals were declared guilty, and with admonishment they were invalidated. With this I have related the contrivance of the Great Masters, who with remembrance of God, salvaged their devotees. Then the whole universe offered ovatin. And thus exclaimed Gurdas O My True Guru, You grant me redemption.
Pauri-24 Guru Gobind Singh- the Tenth Incarnation.
He regenerated the triumphant Khalsa Panth , the righteous denomination, decimated all the Turk foes, and turned the whole earth into a subsisting garden. Great warriors were embodied, whom no one could dare to confront. Victory predominated and all the tribulations and conflicts were erased. And the meditation upon the God, the Timeless was inducted in the first instance, the Master resolved to ruminate over the Creator, and then he kindled the whole universe. The devotees became resolute, and the divine light released all. When God invoked His command, thenthey encountered the holy congregation to enunciate the admiration of the Lord God,day and night. And thus exclaimed Gurdas. O my True Guru, You grant me redemption.
Pauri-25 Magnanimously, You, the formless, are the Unsustained Holy Spirit. Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva could not unravel your mystery. You, my Lord are faultless and contemplative. With the touch of Your feet, grant us endurance. As I have sought the protection of Your Court. Whatever may be the means, please regenerate us. The ones sunk in lust, avarice and falsehood. You,my master, are the exonerator, And without You none empahtises with us to provide us with sustenance. You are profound, unperturbed, unparalleled, and unique. The whole universe is provided livelihood by You. Your order predominates the land, water and void. And by reflecting upon You, the whole manking swims across. And thus exlaimed Gurdas; O my True Guru, You grant me redemption.
Pauri-26 You became known as impregnable, indiscriminate, and free of deception. And from Your celestial throne, passed Your commands. None other than You is our protector. You are the only impeccable, who as saviour of all, inaugurates the temporal play, and You, Yourself remain absolute and latent, but Your inaccessible play persists with determination. And in a unique way, You sojourn all the hearts. This way You produce a marvellous play in which You absorb hundreds of thousands of universes but without pondering over You, none will be liberated. Only those get deliverance , who rely on You, Destitute Gur Das is Your disciple, and with penance and asceticism he seeks Your comfort. Bless him, forgive his errors and omissions by accepting slave Gur Das ,as Your own. And thus exclaimed Gurdas O my True Guru grant me redemption.
Pauri-27 Who is this Gurdas- the poor creature.
He narrates about the inaccessible body corporate when he is bestowed with the understanding by the Guru. He expounds this anecdote. Without His command blows not a leafand happens whatever the Contriver wills. At His command is the entire universe, the ones who comprehend the order, swim across. Under the Command exist all the gods, humans and animals. In the Command abide Brahma and Mahesh., and command creates Vishnu. Under Command temporal courts are held. The Command advances the religious consciousness. With the command, Indra , King of Gods is enthroned. The Sun and the Moon survive with His command and aspire for the blessings of the feet of Har’s feet. In the command continues the earth and the skies. Birth and death come not without His command. One who understands the Command achieves eternity. And thus exclaimed Gur Das O my True Gurr, You grant me redemption.
Pauri-28 This epic of Bhagauti is prominently sacred, sermonising which perception is revealed Those who will embrace this epic will get their mental desires fulfilled. All the adversaries , conflicts and bickering will be erased. The sacred manifestation descends, and one gets contentment. One who recites this epic day and night will realise the internal court of Har. Thus the Epic of Bhagauti is complete. Through its knowledge the creator is recognised. Only then the True Guru becomes benevolent and all the perplexities are ridden. O God Almighty do me a favour, hold my arm and enable me to swim across the temporal sea. Thus exclaimed Gurdas O my True Guru You grant me redemption.
It is an additional Var added after the original 40 Vars and extols the glory of Guru Gobind Singh ji and the Khalsa written by a contemporary of Guru Gobind Singh ji, one of the fifty two poets in court of Guru Gobind Singh whose name was also accidentally Guru Das ji. This Var primarily reflects the greatness of Guru Gobind Singh by calling him “ Aap hi Guru , app hi Chela.’ ( He, Himself is Master and the Disciple. )
