Synopsis

The compositions lauds a divine conception that is unreached and unknowable by the elucidations used in the Quranic, Vedic, Biblical, and Puranic literature.[4] It also openly challenges anyone who venerates particular avatars of the divine rather than the whole and those who present themselves to be religious people in public yet remain ignorant.[4] The thirtieth savaiya of the work is a strong rebuking of the materialisticly greedy and corrupted masands, as per Dharam Pal Ashta in The Poetry of the Dasam Granth (1959).[4] Some verses of the work are used occasionally for Amrit Sanchar baptismal ceremonies.[4]

It was written at Anandpur Sahib.[6]
