It is sometimes grouped together with the preceding Brahma Avtar composition into a combination termed as the Upāvatār (meaning "lesser avatars").

[3] This composition covers the concepts of Gyaan (Knowledge) and Dhyana (Attention) and is against fake ritualism and practices.

Guru Gobind Singh sanctified and narrated the life history of two souls, designating them with the title Rudra and as incarnations of Rudra:[2] Twenty-three gurus are recounted in this chapter and the pen-name of Syām is used by the author near the end of the chapter.

Although modern interpreters believe that a portion of Guru Gobind Singh's life, which he refers to as Apni Katha is Bachittar Natak, the rest of the compositions are independent from it.

This composition is present in every early manuscript, i.e. those of Mani Singh, Motibagh, Sangrur and Patna.
