ਗੁਰ ਗਿਰਾ ਰਾਗਮਾਲਾ ਮੰਡਨ ਪ੍ਰਬੋਧ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ
Gur Gira: Raagmala Mandan Prabodh Granth
A defence of Raagmala written in the middle of the early twentieth-century dispute. Sant Tehal Singh answers twelve objections one by one (the missing 'Mahalla' heading, the absence of the name 'Nanak', Mundaavani, the order of the Raags, the poet Alam) and closes with a survey of twenty-five handwritten Birs in which he reports Raagmala in the text and in the indexes. The opening pages preserve endorsements from Takht Sri Kesgarh Sahib, Damdama Sahib, Muktsar and many named Gursikhs of 1908 and 1909.
