Written by Bh&#257&#299 Sahaj R&#257m, himself a renowned Sev&#257panth&#299 saint, the book was edited by Bh&#257&#299 H&#299r&#257 Si&#7749gh and published by the Sev&#257panth&#299-A&#7693&#7693a&#7751sh&#257h&#299 Sabh&#257, Pa&#7789i&#257l&#257. Although the manuscripts of the work extant today bear no date, the work is surmised to have been written towards the close of the eighteenth century. Bh&#257&#299 Sev&#257 R&#257m, a disciple and close associate of Bh&#257&#299 Kanhaiy&#257, preached the Sikh way of life in distant parts of the country. His life is described in the book in the idiom of myth and miracle. But more than highlighting the deeds of the saint the work concerns itself with elucidating the Sikh tenets. This further blurs the biographical detail.</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1"><li class="C1"> Gurmukh Si&#7749gh, <i>Sev&#257panth&#299&#257&#7749 d&#299 Pañj&#257b&#299 S&#257hit n&#363&#7749 De&#7751</i>.
