[QUOTE="Ishna, post: 206595, member: 2709"] In Max Arthur Macauliffe's [I]The Sikh Religion : volume 5 (the life of Guru Gobind Singh)[/I], 1909, the author writes on pages 81-82: [INDENT]The first Chandi Charitar begins as follows : [I]Ek oamkar, Sri Waheguru ji ki fatah. Ath Chandi Charitar ukt bilas[/I]--Now the tale (bilas) of the deeds of Chandi will be told (ukt). the second Chandi Charitar begins in the same way but without the words [I]ukt bilas[/I]. The Bhagauti ki War begins as follows : [I]Ek oamkar Sri Waheguru ji ki fatah ! Sri Bhagauti ji sahai ! War Sri Bhagauti ji ki Patshahi das[/I]--There is one God. Victory to the holy Wahguru! We implore the favour of the holy Bhagauti (Sword)! The paean of the holy Bhagauti of the tenth Guru. It thus appears that the Bhagauti ki War was written by the tenth Guru himself. The Hindus maintain that in the tenth Guru's writings the word Bhagauti means Durga. In the two Chadi Charitars the word Bhagauti does not occur at all, and even in the Bhagauti ki War it is only found three times--once in the title of the composition, a second time in the first line, and a third time elsewhere. In the latter instance, [I]Lai Bhagauti Durg shah[/I], it is clear that the word Bhagauti means a sword--'The goddess Durga took up the sword.' This is also attested by Gur Das. In the sixth pauri of his twenty-fifth War he refers to the manner in which the signification of words is often altered, and writes--[I]Nam bhagauti loh gharaya[/I]--Man hath fashioned what is called the sword ([I]bhagauti[/I]) from iron. In further proof that Bhagauti does not mean Durga in the Sikh scriptures the following line in the Ad Granth is cited--[I]Bhagauti mudra man mohiya maya[/I], the translation of which is--Men wear God's marks while their minds are fascinated with mammon. <...> The train of thought by which the Guru made God and the sword one was as follows : In the 'Shastar Nam Mala; is read:-- [I]I first mention the word shatru (and enemy) and then the word daman (subduer). Know that the words compounded mean the Lord of the world : be assured of this. [/I] The meaning is--God subdues enemies, so does the sword; therefore the sword is God, and God is the sword.[/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
