Gurfateh!!

Sri Sarbloh Granth Sahib Ji is available in printed form published in two parts by Baba Santa Singh, head of the Buddha Dal . It is a lengthy composition in a variety of metres, comprising totally 4361 stanzas (862 pages in print). The original source of the narrative is, according to the author (stanzas 2093, 3312.3409), Sukra Bhashya, an old classic of Hindu mythology.

It is divided into five parts, part-I starting with a lengthy panegyric and invocation to goddess Sri Maya Lachhami, who is identified with Adi Bhavani (lit. Primordial Goddess), Durga, Jvala, Kali or Kalika, Chandl, as also with masculine Hari and Gopal. Among her myriad attributive names is also Sarabloh (lit. all-steel) which had been used by Guru Gobind Sihgh for Akal-Purakh, the Supreme God, in Akal Ustati. In part-II, Lord Visnu is entreated to become incarnate as Sarabloh (stanza 1167). But it is early in part V that it becomes clear that Sarabloh is an incarnation of Mahakal or Gopal, the Supreme Deity (stanza 2386).

The plot of Sarabloh Granth is almost identical with that of Chandi Charitras. The gods defeated by the demons approach the Goddess Bhavani who kills several demons including their chief Bhimanad during the 7-year long war.

Later, Bhimanad's son.Viryanad, rises in power and wages war against the gods. This time Lord Visnu comes to their succour. Brahma and Siva also help ; but Viryanad not only remains unbeaten in the 12-year long war, but also captures the king of the gods, Indra, along with his sons. Visnu secures their release and leads them to Mahakal, who at their supplications appears as Sarabloh and afterfurther battles, fiercely fought, puts an end to Viryanad and his host. At this stage, the poet also describes the epic as a contest between reason and irrationality in which the former ultimately triumphs.

Errrm if anyone can think of anything else feel free to post... (info is taken from randon sites and the encyclopaedia of Sikhism).
