The Sarabloh Granth is a separate religious text from the Guru Granth Sahib and Dasam Granth, and no hymn or composition of this granth is used in daily Sikh liturgy or Amrit Sanchar. Khalsa Mahima is present in this granth.[3]

There is no complete commentary or exegesis of this granth available, and it is still under research.[4] The complete granth was first printed by Jathedar Santa Singh Nihang at Budha Dal Printing Press, Patiala.

Authorship

There is high controversy among various scholars on authorship of Granth. Following are some of points:

  • According to Pundit Tara Singh, Sarabloh Granth was composed by Bhai Sukha Singh, a Granthi of Patna.[5] He put Khalsa Mahima in same granth to make people believe it to be composition of Guru Gobind Singh.
  • According to Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha, Sarabloh Granth was not written by Guru Gobind Singh and Khalsa Mahima appeared in it is out of context to the main storyline.[6]
  • According to Santa Singh Nihang, Sarabloh Granth was written by Guru Gobind Singh and was completed in Nanded.[4]
  • Early Sikh historical resources, like Sri Gur Sobha, Parchi, Gurbilas Patishahi 10, etc. mention the Khalsa Mahima of Sarabloh Granth.
