1945 and taken to Lahore. Then after partition of India Raja Gulab Singh family settled in New Delhi. Babadeep Singh Bir History Giani Gian Singh in Panth Prakash reports about this bir to be written in Sumat 1804 (1763 AD). Compiled by Babadeep Singh Shaheed. The ending position is Asfotik Kabit. Bhai Randhir Singh in his book page 51 reports “Giani Gian Singh did not see the real manuscript of this bir.” Khan Singh Nabha in 1931 reports that Bhai Mani Singh Bir and Baba Deep Singh Bir are the same. Textual analysis shows that the Sangrur Bir only ends in Asfotik Kabits. Probably therefore Sangrur Bir was Babadeep Singh Bir and the history of such bir goes only up to 1857 AD.This Bir is not Tracable anymore. Sangrur Bir History This bir is reported to be received by Raja Sharup Singh (1837-1864 AD) in 1857 during Indian mutany time when he went to Delhi to help the british government. He was given this bir by a Patan Raja Sahib. It has two portions, first is guru granth sahib, the second portion is Dasam Granth. It contained extra compositions like Sansahar Sukhmana, Var Malkauns Ji, and Chaka Bhagota Jita which was deleted by Sodhak Committee in 1897. Dharampaul Ashta in his book “Poetry of Daam Granth” thought that this bir was prepared at Delhi by Bhai Seehan Singh and per his research Bhai Mani Singh Bir and this bir has same compositions but Jaggi by detailed textual analysis has proven that there are many different textual variants between the two birs. This Bir is not Tracable.anymore 10
