Brahma Avtar
Many indras are in His service, many Brahmas recite the Vedas,
ਕਈ ਬੈਠ ਦਆਰ ਮਹੇਸ਼ ॥ ਕਈ ਸ਼ੇਸ਼ਨਾਗ ਅਸੇਸ ॥੯॥
Brahma Avtar is description of so called Avtars of Brahma which Sharstras and simritis have included in them. It contains 343 verses. Following the Chaubees Avtar are 2 ballads: Brahm Avtar (343 verses) and Rudra Avtar (498 verses).The first of these described the egotism within Brahma and how excessive vanity lead to his 7 incarnations on Earth: Balmik, Kashyap, Shukra, Brahaaspati, Vyas, Sastrodhaarak, and Kalidas.In the second section, the lives of 2 incarnations of Rudra (also known as Shiva) are described namely, Dattatreyaa and Parsnaath. Rudra, as his counterpart Brahma also was the victim of excessive uncontrolled ego and was banished to Earth (by taking the form of the 2 incarnations).
The Brahma Avtar starts with Ustati of God:
ਜੇ ਤਾਸ ਨਾਮ ਜਪੰਤ ॥ ਕਬਹੂੰ ਨ ਭਾਜ ਚਲੰਤ ॥ ਨਹਿ ਤਰਾਸ ਤਾਕੋ ਸ਼ੱਤਰ ॥ ਦਿਸ ਜੀਤ ਹੈ ਗਹਿ ਅਤਰ ॥੫॥
Those who remember His Name, never run away; they do not fear the enemies and wearing their arms and weapons, they conquer all the direction.5.
ਤਿਹ ਭਰੇ ਧਨ ਸੋ ਧਾਮ ॥ ਸਭ ਹੋਹ ਪੂਰਨ ਕਾਮ ॥ ਜੇ ਝਕ ਨਾਮ ਰਟੰਤ ॥ ਤੇ ਨ ਕਾਲ ਫਾਸ ਫਸੰਤ ॥੬॥
Their houses are filled with wealth and all their tasks are fulfilled; those who remember the Name of one Lord, they are not entrapped in the noose of death.6.
