Explore the poetic marvel of Sri Gur Sobha, a blend of eulogy and history by Sainapati, celebrating Guru Gobind Singh’s legacy and the Khalsa.

CHANDRA SAIN SAINAPATI, commonly referred to as Sainapati and counted among the "fifty-two poets" of Guru Gobind Singh (1666-1708), was the son of Bal Chand, an educated Man Jatt of Lahore. His original name was Chandra Sain, Sainapati being the pseudonym he had taken. Chandra Sain, taught by one Devi Das, joined the group of Guru Gobind Singh`s poets, and rendered into Hindi verse Chanakya Niti, the well known Sanskrit treatise on statecraft and diplomacy. His Sri Gur Sobha, a versified life sketch of Guru Gobind Singh describing his major battles, the creation of the Khalsa, and events following the evacuation of Anandpur, is a work of much historical value.

CHITRA SAIN, a devotee of Guru Hargobind, came to Kartarpur on the Baisakhi day to pay obeisance to the Guru. He had come to present, as he had pledged in fulfilment of a wish, the Guru with a horse, white hawk and the robes. The Guru felt pleased with Chitra Sain, as says Gurbilas Patshahi Chhevin, and blessed him. Of these gifts, the Guru gave the hawk to Baba Gurditta and the robes to Painda Khan, a devotee of the Guru and a commander in his army, asking him to wear this dress while coming to the Guru`s presence.
