'''Parchian Pathshahi 10''' is an anonymous and so far unpublished work, comprising 50 parchts or stories from the life of  Guru  Gobind Singh  (MS. held at the  Khalsa  College,  Amritsar,  under MS. No. 2300E). Of the 45 folios, 14 describe in brief the lives of the first nine Gurus; the rest are devoted to  Guru Gobind Singh. Special mention is made of the '''''Zafarnamah''''', in which  Guru Gobind Singh's major battles against the hill chiefs and the Mughal government are alluded to.

The abolition of the institution of  masands  is ascribed to the corruption that had overtaken it.  Guru  Gobind Singh  's friendship with  Bahadur Shah,  son of Emperor  Aurangzeb, is justified by the author on the ground that he ([[Bahadur Shah]]) was a great lover of saints and had served them with devotion in a previous life. The circumstances of the  death  of the  Guru  are described in some detail. His orders for  Sikhs  to venerate the Adi Granth as  Guru  after him and to read barn daily are said to have been explained to a  Sikh  named [[Prahlad Singh]]. A great part of [[Rahitnama Prahlad  Singh]]  is reproduced in the text in 31 stanzas in a mixed form of poetry and prose.
