BHUJANG PRAYAAT STANZA
The Yoginis have filled their beautiful vessels (with blood),
And are moving at various places here and there belching thereby.
The comely crows and vultures having liking for that place have also departed for their homes,
And the warriors have been left to decay in the battlefield undoubtedly.1.257.
Narada is moving with vina in his hand,
And Shiva, the rider of the Bull, playing his tabor, is looking elegant.
In the battlefield, the thundering heroes have fallen alongwith the elephants and horses
And seeing the chopped heroes rolling in dust, the ghosts and goblins are dancing.2.258.
The blind trunks and brave Batital are dancing and the fighting warriors alongwith the dancers,
With the small bells tied around waists have also been killed.
All the resolute assemblies of saints have become fearless.
O the mother of the people! Thou hast performed a nice task by conquering the enemies, I salute Thee.3.259.

May SRI BHAGAUTI JI (The Sword) be Helpful.
The Heroic Poem of Sri Bhagauti Ji
(By) TheTenth King (Guru).
In the beginning I remember Bhagauti, the Lord (Whose symbol is the sword and then I remember Guru Nanak.
Then I remember Guru Arjan, Guru Amar Das and Guru Ram Das, may they be helpful to me.
Then I remember Guru Arjan, Guru Hargobind and Guru Har Rai.
(After them) I remember Guru Har Kishan, by whose sight all the sufferings vanish.
Then I do remember Guru Tegh Bahadur, though whose Grace the nine treasures come running to my house.
May they be helpful to me everywhere.1.
PAURI
At first the Lord created the double-edged sword and then He created the whole world.
He created Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva and then created the play of Nature.
He created the oceans, mountains and the earth made the sky stable without columns.
He created the demons and gods and caused strife between them.
O Lord! By creating Durga, Thou hast caused the destruction of demons.
Rama received power from Thee and he killed the ten-headed Ravana with arrows.
Krishna received power from Thee and he threw down Kansa by catching his hair.
The great sages and gods, even practising great austerities for several ages
None could know Thy end.2.
The saintly Satyuga (the age of Truth) passed away and the Treta age of semi-righteousness came.
