There is a difference in the versions of Sodar. In one Guru Ji are addressing Waheguru Ji directly and in the other Guru Ji are describing Waheguru Ji's Dharr (door) to us.

[kam1825]

There are three sodars. One int eh Sri Jap Ji Sahib, one in the sri Rehraah Sahib and one at the start of Veer Gujri Shabads.

Chronologically the first one uttered is the one in the Rehraas whish Guru Nanak Dev Ji recites in the presence of the Nirgun Brahm whilst immersed in the Byas river.

The second when Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji emerged from the river Byas and Bibi Nanaki asked Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji as to his recent whereabouts. When Guru Nanak Dev Ji stated he was at the door to sachkhand then Bibi Nanaki asked for a description and the Gujri Raag Sodar was recited

The last one was uttered in response to the description requested of the doors to sachkhand by Sri Gorakhnath, Bhangarnath, CharpatNath and Bharthari.

further details can be found int he uthanika granths of Pandit Sadhu Singh and Pandit Gobind Singh. Also in the Katha by Sri Maan Sant Giani Gurbachan Singh Ji Bhindrawalae
