    Jatro got a reaction from Arsh1469 in Manglacharan of Bhavrasamrit by Pandit Gulab Singh   
    It's mostly spiritual poetry aimed at creating vairag and dharmik birti, might be a summary of Pandit Gulab Singh's views on these topics

    It begins with praise of Sri Rama, quite interesting IMO

    Could be love, but the use of word 'tapat'(burning/fire) and the verses which follow (explicitly talking about lust) was what drove me to use 'lust'.

    Kaulan said, Chaupai
    O lord i have great regret, i can't even bring myself to say this
    Still i shall say it, listen carefully, I have lost my religion(705)
    i have attached myself to you, i have nothing to do with the world anymore
    thinking of me as a Turkani you have forgotten me, you have not destroyed the shine of the enemy of Shiva( this means that there was no physical relation)(706)

    I feel Gurbilas Patshahi 10 is much more difficult to understand, GP6 is at least somewhat familiar in terms of the words used

    It's not hardcore Brij of the type seen in Sri Dasam Granth Sahib, more of a Punjabized version of it, somewhat similar to the language used in Sri Guru Granth Sahib

    After touching everyone's feet and with great thought in her mind,
    And saying greetings to all, she(Kaulan) came to her home (695)
    SAWAIYYA
    She had this though in her mind, "Guru has left me( or will not accept me) because he thinks i'm impure",
    "She became attached to the turk's house", thus the Guru may have thought [not 100% sure of my translation here]
    Person who doesn't have a son suffers great hardship under childlessness,
    Without 'bhog' there can be no son, death is better than a life of such childlessness. (696)
    [Sorry but a bit uncomfortable putting down next two lines explicitly so will just hint, Kaulan is wondering how Guru ji had 4 sons]
    She had different thoughts in her mind, "i will either get a son or destroy my body,
    Such sadness she had, in great thinking she spent her time (697)
     At night she had great sadness, a few minutes feel like ages(time does not pass)
    She was in a bad condition for the whole night, the sadness of separation she had in her heart,
    She did not tell of her predicament to anyone (neither the female servants nor anyone else)
    "No one else can cut my sorrows, come O Prabhu only you can destroy them." (698)
    DOHRA
    Kaulan remained in the fire of separation, she could not control herself,
    Bhagat Singh says (or O Bhagat Singh), "Listen to the infinite katha of the Guru"(699)
    SAWAIYYA 
    In the morning the Guru bathes and does 'nit nem' and goes to the court and sings the Vaar,
    He does path of Sukhmani and other banis and gives darshan at the (Akal?) Takht.[almost sure this verse is about the Guru, but not fully sure]
    That day there was a large gathering, due to the Maghi mela Sikhs had come,
    With great joy the lord destroys the problems of his followers(700)
    CHHAPAI
    Concentrate on the lord, do path and don't talk of other stuff,
    {not clear, something about refraining from other useless tasks}.
    The lord listened to the Vaar and came on the Takht
    He concentrated his mind on the path of Sukhmani.
    When half the day had gone by and 8 Ashtapadis of the path had finished,
    Kaulan, due to suffering of separation, got pulled(to the place where the Guru was?) due to great love in her mind.

    Chaupai
    Mata Kaulan gave a lot of respect to Mata Ganga ji, making her pleased she(Mata Kaulan) became happy
    Three fortunate wives of Guru Hargobind, whose feet she touched again and again. (690)
    With great happiness she congratulated all, and gave great respect to all of them,
    Finding 4 sons and 1 daughter of the Guru, Kaulan became very pleased in her mind (691)
    Dohra
    Great joy she had in her mind, and with happiness she said,
    "May you, 4 piercingly beautiful, live very very long. (692)
    Chaupai
    She greatly attached her heart to them, seeing their (the children) beauty she became fixated.
    The beauty of Baba Atal is striking, (unclear, something about great attraction of Baba ji).(693)
    The shine of his soft body cannot be described, Kaulan became very joyous looking at him.
    In her own mind she put in place a great hope, " regretfully i don't have any son" (694)

    I read somewhere that GB6 is the oldest source which mentions the establishment of Akal Takht by Guru Hargobind Sahib. SGPC had published it many years ago but due to pressure of some narrow minded people stopped publishing it.

    Sure brother, i'm attaching the screenshots. My personal opinion on 'pavan guru' is that the Guru wanted to attack personhood (the feeling that we are identical with our bodies, or that we ARE our bodies) which creates selfishness, cowardice and egotistical behaviour, so the Guru always emphasized on distinct parts which make up a person. So we have
    ਦੇਹੀ ਮਾਟੀ ਬੋਲੈ ਪਉਣੁ ॥
    The body is dust; the wind speaks through it.
    ਬੁਝੁ ਰੇ ਗਿਆਨੀ ਮੂਆ ਹੈ ਕਉਣੁ ॥
    Understand, O wise one, who has died.    
    As we all know voice of human beings is generated through the flow of air from the lungs to the larynx. So essentially it's the air that is speaking. So Pavan is Guru because it is only through Pavan that the Gurshabad is emerging.

    This might also be relevant
    ਸਾਚੇ ਤੇ ਪਵਨਾ ਭਇਆ ਪਵਨੈ ਤੇ ਜਲੁ ਹੋਇ ॥
    From the True Lord came the air, and from the air came water.
    ਜਲ ਤੇ ਤ੍ਰਿਭਵਣੁ ਸਾਜਿਆ ਘਟਿ ਘਟਿ ਜੋਤਿ ਸਮੋਇ ॥
    From water, He created the three worlds; in each and every heart He has infused His Light.
    The best explanation of ਪਵਨਾ i've come across is from Faridkot teeka, there it's defined as Pawan devta (or the god of air), the explanation by Bhai Vir Singh ji talks of origin of gases and the three forms of matter

    Leaving aside his prayers, the Guru stood up,
    He could not see the pain of the devotee's affection (702)
     
    Chaupai
    The Guru entered Kaulan's house, immediately happiness spread
    Seeing her full of tears, the separation was unable to be explained (703)
    Sitting near her, she became happy, her contented mind, and the place became peaceful
    The Holy Mouth said why are you in pain? Tell me dear, why are you distressed? (704)
     
     
    This is hard work. Anyone got any ideas about the above (and furher)?
