'''Ugardanti'''(PA: ਉਗ੝ਰਦੰਤੀ) is a composition which is present only in [[Dasam Granth|Dasam Granth Bir Patna Sahib]]. There are 6 Chandds of this bani.  
===Etymology===
Ugardanti, a feminine term, is made of two terms:
* '''Ugar''' {{sdd|ਉਗ੝ਰ}} means Dangerous/Strong/Fierce/Intense. <ref name=ugar_Mahankosh>Mahaankosh : Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha</ref>
* '''Danti''' {{sdd|ਦੰਤੀ}} means Tooth.<ref name=ugar_Mahankosh>Mahaankosh : Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha</ref> It also means Tooth against Tooth. <ref name=ugar_sansenglish>[http://books.google.com/books?id=zUezTfym7CAC&pg=PA469&dq=danti+sanskrit&hl=en&ei=9mTETMD7N4Gs8Abt943MBg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CCwQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=danti%20sanskrit&f=false A Sanskrit-English dictionary]</ref>
 
Ugardanti means strong and fierce teeth which destroy Sins, lies, Negativity, Wickedness, Cowardliness and bring worse people on way.
 
In Gurmat vision the term is explained as follows :<br>
#In Guru Granth Sahib, on page 1082, Guru Nanak said that ''The Protector who tears apart demons with His teeth, the Upholder of the earth. '' <ref name=ugar_gurugranth>[http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.gurbani?Action=Page&Param=1082&english=t&id=46425#l46425 Baba Nanak: Guru Granth Sahib]</ref>. Guru Ram Das also explained the Ugar ace, fierce face of god, ''One whose mind is satisfied with the Lord that servant is known throughout the four ages, in all four directions. If some sinner speaks evil of him, the Messenger of Death chews him up.''.<ref name=ugar_gurugranth998>[http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.gurbani?Action=Page&Param=998&english=t&id=42708#l42708 RamDass:Adi Granth:Page 998]</ref>. This is Ugar Face of Hukam, which saves Saintly people and destroy evils.
#In Dasam Granth, Guru Gobind Singh mentioned in Akal Ustat that ''All those Prophets, saints and hermits, who came into being, were all ultimately '''crushed under the grinder tooth of KAL.29.''''' <ref name=ugar_dasamgranth>[http://www.sridasam.org/dasam?Action=Page&p=99&english=t&id=66899 Guru Gobind Singh: Dasam Granth]</ref>
 
Ugardanti is attributed as Will power/Command of God i.e one aspect of Akal Purakh, which have power to crush everything in the world. This is popular phrase "to come under jaws","Out of the jaws of death", these jaws are attributed as Hukam. For Eg. Earthquake in haiti killed thousand of Innocent people, Tsunami occured and ate up thousand of people. This is Ugardanti Face of God.
 
Gurmat is the command of Nirankar/God.<ref name=ugar_gurugranth22>[http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.gurbani?Action=Page&Param=22&punjabi=t&id=907#l907 Baba Nanak: Guru Granth Sahib Page - 22]</ref> Gurmat has power to cut all vices, So Gurmat itself functions as Ugardanti.

* An opinion existed that Ugardanti bani was composed by head Priest of Patna Sahib, Bhai Sukha Singh which later on added in  ''Dasam granth Patna Sahib Bir'', but as Bhai Sukkha Singh added many banis of Guru Gobind Singh after it so this opinion is not possible, moreover work style, terminology and concept of Ugardanti is almost similar to other compositions of Guru Gobind Singh like Ath Pakhyan Chariter likhyaty, Charitar 1, <ref name=ugar_bansali>[http://www.sikhiwiki.org/index.php/Chandi_Charitar_%28Charitropakhyan%29 Read Charitar on Sikhiwiki ]</ref> and other Chandi Chariters.
