The text known as 'Chandi Di Var' is the third composition written by Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji on the battles of Chandi within the Sri Dasam Granth. The first is 'Chandi Charittar', the second is 'Chandi Charittar Ukat Bilas' and this text being the third. This scripture out of the three is summarised by Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji and is written in the form of a ballad. In this small book, you will find both the Punjabi commentary and the English translation of the commentary by Bhai Kahan Singh Nabha. Bhai Kahan Singh Nabha is an interesting individual within Sikh history who lived between 1861 to 1938. created numerous works such as the Sri Mahan Kosh, Sri Gurmat Martand, Sri Gurmat Parbhakar, Sri Gurmat Sudhakar and many others. He played an active role in the Singh Sabha movement with publications such as 'Hum Hindu Nahin' (We are not Hindus) to show the Sikh saith as its separate entity. There are also many others such as Sri Man Sant Giani Mohan Singh Bhindrawale that say Bhai Kahan Singh Nabha as being pivotal in orchestrating issues within the faith. Sant Giani Mohan Singh Ji stated a lot of the Sri Dasam Granth debates originated from Bhai Kahan Singh Nabha as well as the origin of the Namdhari story in relation to Baba Ajapal Singh. However, this publication is a commentary of Chandi Di Var as stated above and is a very interesting commentary. It is due to the extensive footnotes provided by Bhai Kahan Singh which explain the origins of some of the terms being used by Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji. You realise there are terms within the text from Sanskrit, Arabic, Farsi, Dingol, etc. Within other commentaries you do not find such information elaborated upon. I have attempted to keep some of the original footnotes and translate them however, not all of them have been retained. Also, within this publication there are extensive endnotes on the different individuals mentioned within the commentary. These endnotes have been copied from a 19th century publication on the deities and glossary of their lives. I personally found this interesting to read and wanted to provide the reader the same information so they do not need to search for other resources.
