All these translations are taken from Bindras translations.


p14


You are the Broad Sword with decapitating edge. You are the Arrow, Dagger, (and the sword from regions of) Halb, South, and West. I can envision you to the limits of my perception.(1) You are the capable deity - Sarswati, Roopa and Bhawani. You are the divinity - Vishnu, Brahma and Shiva, and, Majestically, you are established in motherly form



Bhagauti is referred to as Sword in Sikhism, which is what the writer describes in the verse.


p14


Guising as Narsing, the Sphinx, you smashed Harnakash.


SGGS also mentions about God saving prahlad, son of Harnaksh.


p14


You are known as Jalpa, Kalka and are the Rani of the fourteen

continent.


In Bachitar Natak, Guru Gobind Singh mentions 'Mahakal Kalka aradhi'.


DG followers often point out that it is Kalka and not Kalika, and reading Chariter One it becomes clear that Kalka is not Kalika but it is also not God, but another form of Shakti. Read below


P15 last line


And God Almighty is your protector.


Shiv is known as Mahakal. Mahakal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Mahakal Kalka would refer to divine two formed shiv and parvati. (see attached image)


p16-17


When the mother of the Universe (Bhagauti) looked down with irritation, all those brilliant ones were beheaded and chucked down on the earth. All those, with lotus eyes, who did not tremble but remained alert like lions, were annihilated by Shakti.


Bhagauti is Shakti.


So i think it is pretty clear that in Chariter One, Shakti is Bhagauti but is not GOD and is created by Akalpurakh to exterminate evil. Writer accepts power of Devi and seeks blessings from her in first Chariter. She is doer of all things and grants various boons.





If it been availbale when DG was compiled then i am sure it would be mentioned as another form of Shakti.
