In Dasam Guru Darbar--devi Ustat Is Actually Akaal Ustat!

[shastarSingh]

In Sri Dasam Guru Darbaar, in Chandi Charitar - 2, there is Devi Ustat. In reality it is the ustat of Akaal Purakh. Below is the first stanza of the Devi Ustat written is poetic meter of Bhujang Prayat Chand.

ਦੇਵੀ ਜੂ ਕੀ ਉਸਤਤਿ ॥
देवी जू की उसतति ॥
Eulogy of the Goddess:

ਭੁਜੰਗ ਪ੍ਰਯਾਤ ਛੰਦ ॥
भुजंग प्रयात छंद ॥
BHUJANG PRAYAAT STANZA

ਨਮੋ ਜੋਗ ਜ੍ਵਾਲੰ ਧਰੀਯੰ ਜੁਆਲੰ ॥

नमो जोग ज्वालं धरीयं जुआलं ॥
O Yoga-fire, Enlightener of the Earth! I salute Thee.

ਨਮੋ ਸੁੰਭ ਹੰਤੀ ਨਮੋ ਕ੍ਰੂਰ ਕਾਲੰ ॥
नमो सु्मभ हंती नमो क्रूर कालं ॥
O the Destroyer of Sumbh and dreadful manifestation of Death!

ਨਮੋ ਸ੍ਰੋਨ ਬੀਰਜਾਰਦਨੀ ਧੂਮ੍ਰ ਹੰਤੀ ॥
नमो स्रोन बीरजारदनी धूम्र हंती ॥
O the Destroyer of Dhumar Nain , O the Destroyer of Rakat Beej!

ਨਮੋ ਕਾਲਿਕਾ ਰੂਪ ਜੁਆਲਾ ਜਯੰਤੀ ॥੪॥੨੨੩॥
नमो कालिका रूप जुआला जयंती ॥४॥२२३॥
O Blazing like fire Kalika! I salute Thee.4.223.

If we move to the 11th Stanza, there is a tukk(the one in bold) 'Namo Astarr Dhartaa'. If it was ustatt of some hindu devi, it would have been 'Namo Astarr Dhartiii'. But the verb is 'Dhartaa' which makes it clear that Devi Ustat is actually Akaal Ustat.

ਭਵੀ ਭਾਰਗਵੀਯੰ ਨਮੋ ਸਸਤ੍ਰ ਪਾਣੰ ॥

भवी भारगवीयं नमो ससत्र पाणं ॥
O the power of Yama, O the power of Bhrigu and the the wielder of weapons in Thy hands, I salute Thee.

ਨਮੋ ਅਸਤ੍ਰ ਧਰਤਾ ਨਮੋ ਤੇਜ ਮਾਣੰ ॥
नमो असत्र धरता नमो तेज माणं ॥
Thou art the wearer of arms, most Glorious;

ਜਯਾ ਆਜਯਾ ਚਰਮਣੀ ਚਾਵਡਾਯੰ ॥
जया आजया चरमणी चावडायं ॥
Unconquerable for ever and conqueror of all, bearer of elegant shield;

ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਕਾਲ ਕਾਯੰ ਨਯੰ ਨਿਤਿ ਨਿਆਯੰ ॥੧੧॥੨੩੦॥
क्रिपा काल कायं नयं निति निआयं ॥११॥२३०॥
And performer of justice at all times, the Merciful Kalika! I salute thee. 11.230.

[ramghariasingh]

every single word in dasam guru darbar is akaal ustat

[singh598]

The killer of sumbh and nisumbh was the Devi known as bhagavati mata chandi kalika etc

Therefore this contradicts your assertion

The war poetry of Dasam bani is citations of all famous historical battles and acts of bravery so as to enshrine bir ras in the khalsa

Guru wrote about Devi but not worshippers of anything other than mahakaal

everyone dies at Akal Purakh's hukham so no SHE did not .... Akhan jor chupe na jor , jor na mangan dehn na jor, ...etc etc

Anyway Devi is the symbol of the enlightened Gurmat Intellect in Dasam Granth sahib
