Bhatt Mathura Ji has 14 Swaiyyas, 7 in Praise of Guru Ramdas Ji and 7 in Praise of Guru Arjun Dev Ji.

This is the first of Bhatt Mathura Ji’s seven Swaiyyas in Praise of Guru Arjun Dev Ji.

Bhatt Ji’s father Bhatt Bhikha Ji has two Swaiyyas in Praise of Guru Amardas Ji.

Bhatt Mathura Ji died in the battle of Amritsar as a soldier in the army of Guru Hargobind Ji – 14th April 1634.

Bhatt Ji traces the Gurgaddi lineage in this Swaiyya. Guru Nanak Dev Ji was the very Embodiment of Divine Light; from Him, came Guru Angad Dev Ji, who was merged into the Essence (of God).

“Jote roop Har Aap Guru Nanak kahaiiyo; ta te Angad bheyo tatt seyo tatt milaeyo.”

Guru Angad showered His Grace and established Amar Dass as the Satguru; Guru Amardass Ji blessed Guru Ramdass Ji with the Canopy of Immortality.

“Angad kirpa dhaar Amar Satgur thirr keeyo; Amardass Amrit Chattar Gur Ramhe deeyo.”

Mathura says as one gazed upon the blessed Vision of Guru Ramdas, his speech became as sweet as Nectar; with your eyes, now see the blessed Guru Arjun, the Approved Primal Being, the fifth manifestation of the Gurus.

“Guru Ramdass Darshan paras kahe Mathura Amrit beyen; Murat Panch Parmaan Purakh Gur Arjun pikho nayen.”
