The text known as ÔChand_ D_ V_rÕ is the third composition written by Sr_ Guru Gobind Singh J_ on the battles of Chand_ within the Sr_ Dasam Granth. The first is ÔChand_ CharittarÕ, the second is ÔChand_ Charittar Ukat Bil_sÕ and this text being the third. This scripture out of the three is summarised by Sr_ Gur_ Gobind Singh J_ 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 Bh__ K_han Singh Nabh_. Bh__ K_han Singh N_bh_ is an interesting individual within Sikh history who lived between 1861 to 1938. created numerous works such as the Sr_ Mah_n Kosh, Sri Gurmat M_rtand, Sr_ Gurmat Parbhakar, Sr_ Gurmat Sudhakar and many others. He played an active role in the Singh Sabh_ movement with publications such as ÔHum Hind_ Nah_nÕ (We are not Hind_s) to show the Sikh saith as its separate entity. There are also many others such as Sr_ M_n Sant Gi_n_ Mohan Singh Bhindr_w_le that say Bh__ Kahan Singh N_bh_ as being pivotal in orchestrating issues within the faith. Sant Gi_n_ Mohan Singh J_ stated a lot of the Sr_ Dasam Granth debates originated from Bh__ K_han Singh N_bh_ as well as the origin of the N_mdh_r_ story in relation to B_b_ Aj_p_l Singh. However, this publication is a commentary of Chand_ D_ V_r as stated above and is a very interesting commentary. It is due to the extensive footnotes provided by Bh__ K_han Singh which explain the origins of some of the terms being used by Sr_ Gur_ Gobind Singh J_. You realise there are terms within the text from Sanskrit, Ar_bic, F_rs_, 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.
