[harmanpreet singh]

Guru pyari saadh sangat ji ,

Kab shyam along with other poet /KABram a typical vaishnav who is author of Charitropakhan ( largest composition of so called Dasam Granth containing 7555 verses , Chaubis avtaar 2nd largest composition containg 5297 verses and of Bachitar natak

below is poetry of KAB SHYAAM FROM KRISAN AVTAAR ( DASAM GRANTH )

ਜਿਨ ਕੇ ਸਿਰ ਸੇਂਧਰ ਮਾਂਗ ਬਿਰਾਜਤ ਰਾਜਤ ਹੈ ਬਿੰਦੂਆ ਜਿਨ ਪੀਲੇ ॥ਕੰਚਨ ਭਾ ਅਰੁ ਚੰਦ੍ਰ ਪ੍ਰਭਾ ਜਿਨ ਕੇ ਤਨ ਲੀਨ ਸਭੈ ਫੁਨ ਲੀਲੇ ॥
On the heads of the gopis, the vermilion seems spendid and the yellow round marks on the forehead look magnificent; the whole boddies of Kanchanprabha and Chandraprabha seen to have merrgrd in beauty;

ਏਕ ਧਰੇ ਸਿਤ ਸੁੰਦਰ ਸਾਜ ਧਰੇ ਇਕ ਲਾਲ ਸਜੇ ਇਕ ਨੀਲੇ ॥ ਸਯਾਮ ਕਹੈ ਕੋਊ ਰੀਝ ਰਹੈ ਪਿਖਿ ਕੈ ਦ੍ਰਿਗ ਕੰਜ ਕੇ ਕਾਨ੍ਹ ਰਸੀਲੇ ॥੫੬੪॥
Someone is wearing white garments, someone red and someone blue; the poet Shyaam says that all are getting fascinated on seeing Krishna`s voluptuous drag-kang.564.

ਸ੍ਵੈਯਾ ॥
SWAYYA

ਸਭ ਗ੍ਵਾਰਨੀਯਾ ਤਹ ਖੇਲਤ ਹੈ ਸੁਭ ਅੰਗਨ ਸੁੰਦਰ ਸਾਜ ਕਈ ॥ ਸੋਊ ਰਾਸ ਬਿਖੈ ਤਹ ਖੇਲਤ ਹੈ ਹਰਿ ਸੋ ਮਨ ਮੈ ਅਤਿ ਹੀ ਉਮਈ ॥
Adorning their limbs, all the gopis are playing there and in that amorous play, they are absorbed in passionate sport in extreme excitement in the company of Krishna;

ਕਬਿ ਸਯਾਮ ਕਹੈ ਤਿਨ ਕੀ ਉਪਮਾ ਜੁ ਹੁਤੀ ਤਹ ਗ੍ਵਾਰਨਿ ਰੂਪ ਰਈ ॥ ਮਨੋ ਸਯਾਮਹਿ ਕੋ ਤਨ ਗੋਰਨ ਪੇਖਿ ਕੈ ਸਯਾਮਹਿ ਸੀ ਸਭ ਹੋਇ ਗਈ ॥੫੬੫॥
The poet shyaam , describing the beauty an delegance of gopis, says that it seems that seeing the comeliness of Krishna, all the gopis have become Krishna-like.565.

ਸ੍ਵੈਯਾ ॥
SWAYYA

ਕੇਲ ਕੈ ਰਾਸ ਮੈ ਰੀਝ ਰਹੀ ਕਬਿ ਸਯਾਮ ਕਹੈ ਮਨ ਆਨੰਦ ਕੈ ਕੈ ॥ ਚੰਦ੍ਰਮੁਖੀ ਤਨ ਕੰਚਨ ਭਾਹ ਸਿ ਸੁੰਦਰ ਬਾਤ ਕਹੀ ਉਮਗੈ ਕੈ ॥
All the gopis are saturated and absorbed in passionate sport, getting pleased in their mind; Chandarmukhi with her body like gold, is saying this in extreme excitement;

ਪੇਖਤ ਮੂਰਤ ਭੀ ਰਸ ਕੇ ਬਸਿ ਆਪਨ ਤੇ ਬਡ ਵਾਹਿ ਲਖੈ ਕੈ ॥ ਜਿਉ ਮ੍ਰਿਗਨੀ ਮ੍ਰਿਗ ਪੇਖਤ ਮਿਉ ਬ੍ਰਿਖਭਾਨ ਸੁਤਾ ਭਗਵਾਨ ਚਿਤੈ ਕੈ ॥ ੫੬੬॥
That on seeing the image of Krishna, her passionate love is not restrained and just as a doe looks at a dear, Radha is seeing Lord Krishna in the same manner.566.

ਬ੍ਰਿਖਭਾਨ ਸੁਤਾ ਪਿਖਿ ਰੀਝ ਰਹੀ ਅਤਿ ਸੁੰਦਰ ਕਾਨ੍ਹ ਕੋ ਆਨਨ ॥ ਰਾਜਤ ਤੀਰ ਨਦੀ ਜਿਹਕੇ ਸੁ ਬਿਰਾਜਤ ਫੂਲਨ ਕੇ ਜੁਤ ਕਾਨਨ ॥
Radha is getting fascinated on seeing the beautiful face of Krishna; the river is flowing near Krishna and the forests of flowers look magnificent;

ਨੈਨ ਕੇ ਭਾਵਨ ਸੋ ਹਰਿ ਕੋ ਮਨ ਮੋੋਹਿ ਲਯੋ ਰਸ ਕੀ ਅਭਿਮਾਨਨ ॥ ਜਿਉ ਰਸ ਲੋਗਨ ਭਉਹਨ ਲੈ ਧਨੁ ਨੈਨਨ ਸੈਨ ਸੁ ਕੰਜ ਸੇ ਬਾਨਨ ॥੫੬੭॥
The signs of Radha have allured the mind of Krishna and it appears to him that her eyebrows are like bows and the signs of the eyes like the arrows of flowers.567.

ਕਾਨ੍ਹ ਸੋ ਪ੍ਰੀਤ ਬਢੀ ਤਿਨ ਕੀ ਨ ਘਟੀ ਕਛੁ ਪੈ ਬਢਹੀ ਸੁ ਭਈ ਹੈ ॥ ਡਾਰ ਕੈ ਲਾਜ ਸਭੈ ਮਨ ਕੀ ਹਰਿ ਕੇ ਸੰਗ ਖੇਲਣ ਕੌ ਉਮਈ ਹੈ ॥
The love of Radha for Krishna, instead of decreasing, increased greatly and the mind of Radha, forsaking shyness, became eager to play with Krishna;

ਸਯਾਮ ਕਹੈ ਤਿਨ ਕੀ ਉਪਮਾ ਅਤਿ ਹੀ ਜੁ ਤ੍ਰੀਆ ਅਤਿ ਰੂਪ ਰਹੀ ਹੈ ॥ਸੁੰਦਰ ਕਾਨ੍ਹਰ ਕੌ ਪਿਖਿ ਕੈ ਤਨ ਮੈ ਸਭ ਗ੍ਵਾਰਨ ਹੋਇ ਗਈ ਹੈ ॥੫੬੮॥
The poet Shyam says that all the women are beautiful and seeing the beauty of Krishna, all have merged in him;568.

Re: KAB/POET SHYAAM OF DASAM GRANTH

But other camp does not refer this part of Bhai Kahan Singh's book but refers it as supportive of their view?
Another point came across my mind is: Why ( if it is written by him, as claimed) Guruji describe kaam actions repeatedly. Once was not enough? If he ever wanted to caution people?
SGGS Ji, referred to problems related to kaam only in simple terms and for a few lines.
Does the other camp has answers?

Jios,

We have discussed Chaubis Avtar, and the poets KAL and Siam, in some depth here at the forum. I encourage you to seek out the conversations there, as well as contribute your thoughts to this thread.

The problems with Chaubis Avtar's authorship are not explored nearly enough.

You may also find some interesting discussion related to the Chaubis Avtar on the blog of one of our members Harman Singh Mann, The Khalsa Fauj.
