waheguru ji ka khalsa
waheguru ji ki fateh

I was wondering if anyone knows the sakhi behind this shabad?? Bhai sahib Kulbir Singh??


kuvaleeaa peerr aap maraaeidhaa piaaraa kar baalak roop pachaahaa ||2||
The Beloved Himself took the form of a child, and destroyed Kuwalia-peer, the mad elephant. ||2||

aap akhaarraa paaeidhaa piaaraa kar vaekhai aap chojaahaa ||
The Beloved Himself sets the stage; He performs the plays, and He Himself watches them.

kar baalak roop oupaaeidhaa piaaraa cha(n)ddoor ka(n)s kaes maaraahaa ||
The Beloved Himself assumed the form of the child, and killed the demons Chandoor, Kansa and Kaysee.

aapae hee bal aap hai piaaraa bal bha(n)nai moorakh mugadhhaahaa ||3||
The Beloved Himself, by Himself, is the embodiment of power; He shatters the power of the fools and idiots. ||3||

In many padd-chhed saroops, the word "Kuvaliya peer" is separated whereas this word is one word. It's the name of the elephant that was sent by Siri Krishna's mama - Kansa, who was the king of Mathura, to kill his nephew - Krishna.

When Kansa heard that Siri Krishna and Balraam, had left Vrindaban and were on their way to Mathura, he tried many ways to eliminate Siri Krishna but who can eliminate someone whom Vaheguru himself is protecting? Vaheguru jee worked his ways through great men (and women) of different times, and had his glory established.

Kuvaliyapeer was a very powerful elephant who had no second in his time. Kansa knew that Siri Krishna and Balraam were going to attend the wresting match going on in Mathura; therefore, he ordered a caretaker to bring Kuvaliyapeer and attack Siri Krishna as soon as he appears there. When Siri Krishna arrived at the wrestling match, he was attacked by the elephant. It is said that Krishna knocked off the elephant as effortlessly as the bird Garuda attacks and kills a poisonous cobra.

The people of Mathura were amazed to see a young teenager kill an elephant as strong as Kuvaliyapeer. Guru Sahib in the given pankiti (in the above post) is stating the truth that Vaheguru himself was working through Siri Krishna when he killed the elephant Kuvaliyapeer.

The central idea of this shabad of Siri Guru Raamdaas jee is that the only doer in the world is Vaheguru and he alone is working through different beings and running the show. He himself is running the show, is the show and is watching the show as well. This riddle is solved by Gursikhs who realize Vaheguru. It's hard for us to fathom this.

In the third pankiti, stated in the above post, Siri Guru jee also mentions other dusht (evil) people killed by Siri Krishna namely - Chandoor, Kansa (his Mama) and Keysee.

Kulbir Singh
