Textual Analysis, History and Academic Issues of Important Dasam ...

(B) Histoty of Babadeep Singh Bir
Giani Gian Singh inhis book Panth Prakash reports about this Bir to be written/
Compiled by Babadeep Singh Shaheed in Sumat 1804 (1763 AD) . The ending position
is Asfotik Kabit. Bhai Randhir Singh in his “Shabadmoorat” book page 51 reports
“Giani Gian Singh did not see the real manuscript of this bir.” Khan Singh Nabha in 1931
reports that Bhai Mani Singh Bir and Baba Deep Singh Bir are the same. Textual analysis
shows that the Sangrur Bir only ends in Asfotik Kabits. Probably therefore Sangrur Bir
was Babadeep Singh Bir and the history of such bir goes only up to 1857 AD. There is no
known history of this bir and it is not traceable anywhere anymore.
(C) History of Sangrur Bir
This bir is reported to be received by Raja Sarup Singh (1837-1864 AD) in 1857 during
the time of Indian mutiny when he went to Delhi to help the British government. He was
given this bir by a Pathan Raja Sahib. It has two portions, first is guru Granth Sahib, the
second is Dasam Granth. It contained extra compositions like Sansahar Sukhmana, Var
Malkauns Ji, and Chaka Bhagota Ji Da which was deleted by Sodhak Committee in
1897. Dharampaul Ashta in his book “Poetry of Dasam Granth” thought that this Bir was
prepared at Delhi by Bhai Shihan Singh and per his research Bhai Mani Singh Bir and
this Bir has same compositions. But Jaggi by detailed textual analysis has proven that
there are many different textual variants between the two birs. This Bir is not traceable.
