Ugardanti(PA: ਉਗਰਦੰਤੀ) is a composition which is present only in Dasam Granth Bir Patna Sahib that is said to have been composed by Guru Gobind Singh. There are 6 Chandds of this bani.
Etymology
Ugardanti is made of two terms
- Ugar means Dangerous/Strong. [1]
- Danti means Tooth/Tooth against tooth
In Gurmat Philosphy, in Guru Granth Sahib Teeth of Nirankar is attributed as Hukam/will power. [2]
History
- In Bansavalinama, written in 1769 CE, author, Kesar Singh Chibbar, explains and quotes a few passages from the rare composition Ugardanti, which was written by Guru Gobind Singh Ji. [3]
- Some people say that this Bani, present in the Dasam Granth Bir Patna Sahib, is the work of Sukkha Singh, however others say that this is a misunderstanding that as it is found in his handwritten copy of Sri Dasam Granth and it does not find much other mention in other old hand written Sri Dasam Granth Sahib's. This shows that Ugardanthi did exist and was written about before the time of Sukha Singh.
- The ‘Ugardanti Bani’ is part of Akali Nihang and Namdhari daily liturgy.
- Acc. to Nihung Tradition, This bani was given by Guru Gobind Singh to inspire some of his weaker followers (Sikhs), so that they would be able to fight against tyranny.
Mangal
Manglacharan is starting of Bani. The Bani starts with:
ੴ ਵਾਹਿਗਰੂ ਜੀ ਕੀ ਫਤਹਿ ॥
ੴ वाहिगढ़रू जी की फतहि ॥
The Lord is one and the Victory is of the Lord.
ਸਰੀ ਭਗਉਤੀ ਜੀ ਸਹਾਇ ॥
सढ़री भगउती जी सहाइ ॥
May the Bhagauti = Gurumatt Helps
Ending
The bani Ends with following node:
ਸਰੀ ਇਤਿ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਵਿਰਾਚਿਤੇ ਸਰੀ ਭਗਵਤੀ ਛੰਦ ਖਸਤਮੰ ਸਮਾਪਤੰ ਸਤ ਸਭਮ ਸਤ || ੬ ||
शढ़री इति गोबिंद सिंह विराचिते शढ़री भगवती छंद खशटम समापढ़तम सत सढ़भम सत || ६ ||
Bhagvati Chand Narrated by Guru Gobind Singh Completed with Benediction.
