The Textual History of the Dasam Granth Sahib”

Dr. Kamalroop Singh, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, UK

W.H. McLeod (1979/2007) states that ‘Research on the Dasam Granth has been very limited, with the result that most of the major questions which it raises cannot be answered at present.’ The previous research has been limited to the examination of its poetry, with the exception of one detailed study of Dasam Granth manuscripts (Jaggi 1966). Very little research has been undertaken on the development of the Dasam Granth (DG) in the lifetime of the Tenth Guru, and therefore this paper addresses this gap. This paper begins with an examination of the editing and dating of primary sources, so that an accurate chronology can be constructed of the textual history. This has been explored in reference to late seventeenth and eighteenth century hagiographies which are examined alongside several extant seventeenth century DG manuscripts; and with supplementation from later secondary sources. A major development in the textual history of the DG was its standardisation and subsequent printing in 1897, however some original manuscripts contain extra ‘apocrypha’ which are absent from the printed edition. The compositions in the standard version of the DG will be discussed, along with new translations and discussion of the ‘apocrypha.’ By re-examining the earliest sources, it is clear that the Scripture of Guru Gobind Singh was compiled in his Court. The juxtaposition against later sources brings the modern Singh Sabha theory that the DG was compiled by Bhai Mani Singh into question.

I completed my PhD thesis in 2012 on the subject which will be published shortly.

The Textual History of the Dasam Granth Sahib - Dr Kamalroop Singh

Kalki Avtar : Dasam Granth Sahib By Bhai Sukha Singh

Bhai Jagpal Singh -Har kaa Naam Dhiaye Kai

When, Goswami Tulsidas was composing his Sri Vinay Patrika and doing Sri Ram Naam Sadhna, suddenly a letter comes to him and know what it was letter of Sri Meera Bai —

स्वस्ति श्री तुलसी सुखनिधान दुःख हरन गोसाईं।
बारहिं बार प्रनाम करहूँ, अब हरहूँ सोक-समुदाईं।।
घर के स्वजन हमारे जेते, सबन्ह उपाधि बढ़ाईं।
साधु-सग अरु भजन करत माहिं देत कलेस महाईं।।
बालापन ते मीरा कीन्ही, गिरधरलाल मिताईं।
सो तों अब छूटै नहीं क्योंहूँ, लगी लगन बरियाईं।।
मेरे माता-पिता के समहौ, हरिभक्तन्ह सुखदाई।
हमको कहा उचित करिबो है, सो लिखिए समुझाईं।।

~ Svasti Sri Goswami Tulasidas, the benevolent, and the benefactor of blessings and happiness! I make salutations in your lotus feet again and again, please, destroy my host of grief and sufferings. My all family members (in-laws), whoever there are in my house, are always creating troubles over my association with saints, and in my devotion (Bhajan), which causes intense sadness (& sufferings) to me. Since my childhood, I have made friendship with Giridhara, so the bonds of attachment with him developed too strong to break now! For me Hari-Bhaktas are like equal to my parents, therefore, I beseech You to explain (instruct) me what would be proper for me to do now (in such circumstances)!
After reading this Goswami Tulsidas continued doing Sri Ram Naam Sadhna, and after completing it, in tears he wrote Sri Vinay Patrika 174 —

जाके प्रिय न राम-बैदेही।
तजिये ताहि कोटि बैरी सम, जद्यपि परम सनेही॥
तज्यो पिता प्रहलाद, बिभीषन बंधु भरत महतारी।
बलि गुरु तज्यो कंत ब्रज-बनितन्हि, भये मुद-मंगलकारी ॥
नाते नेह राम के मनियत सुहृद सुसेब्य जहाँ लौं।
अंजन कहा आँखि जेहि फूटै बहुतक कहौं कहाँ लौं॥
तुलसी सो सब भाँति परम हित पूज्य प्रानते प्यारो।
जासों होय सनेह राम-पद एतो मतों हमारो॥

~ To those whom Sri Rama and Maa Sita are not dear, Leave them, even if they are among the very close and extremely dear ones, as like they are equal to billions enemies! For lord, Maharaj Prahlad disowned his father, and so rejected, Sri Vibhishan his brother (Ravana), and Bharata his mother. Maharaj Bali renounced his Guru , and Gopis left their husbands (for taking side of lord), and they all became the very source of bliss and auspiciousness (blessings). Till wherever there are friends (Suhrid), and beloved relatives & worship able people (Susevya), they are [all] respected in accordance of their relation to and fondness of Sri Ram. (It is in relation to Sri Rama alone that all kith and kin are worthy of love.) What good is the eye-balm (relations with other) that destroys the eyesight (our love and relation with Sri Rama). What more could be explained for this.
Goswami Tulsidas composed and sent Vinay-patrika Pad 174 (quoted above) as a reply to Sri Meerabai. He told those who cause trouble in our devotion towards Sri Sitaram, they must be renounced even if they are very close and extremely dear ones, as like they are equal to billions enemies! All our relations towards beloved and respected ones should be in accordance with Sri Rama. It is their relation to and fondness of Shri Rama alone (the deciding factor) that all kith and kin are worthy of love.
