<p class="C1">&#65279SA&#7748SR&#256M, son of B&#257b&#257 Mohan and a grandson of Gur&#363 Amar D&#257s. According to Sar&#363p D&#257s Bhall&#257, <i>Mahim&#257 Prak&#257sh</i>, he lost his mother in infancy. His father being indifferent to worldly affairs, Gur&#363 Amar D&#257s took him under his care. Sa&#7749sr&#257m grew up to be a gifted young man. He mostly remained in attendance upon Gur&#363 Amar D&#257s or spent his time memorizing hymns coming down from the Gur&#363s. These he wrote down in Gurmukh&#299 characters. Two of the <i>Poth&#299s</i> or volumes he prepared are to this day preserved in the descendant families. It is said that Gur&#363 Arjan made use of Sa&#7749sr&#257m's <i>poth&#299s</i> when compiling the Sikh canon in the form of the &#256di Granth.</p>
