33 Savaiye (Gurmukhi: ੩੩ ਸਵਈਏ; alternatively transliterated as Swayyae; also known as Sri Mukhvak Savaiya) is a religious work written by Guru Gobind Singh which is included in Dasam Granth, second scripture of Sikhs. [3] [4] It is present after Sabad Patshahi 10 and continued with Khalsa Mahima. [5] [4] It explains qualities of Supreme and the Khalsa.
The compositions lauds a divine conception that is unreached and unknowable by the elucidations used in the Quranic, Vedic, Biblical, and Puranic literature. [4] It also openly challenges anyone who venerates particular avatars of the divine rather than the whole and those who present themselves to be religious people in public yet remain ignorant. [4] The thirtieth savaiya of the work is a strong rebuking of the materialisticly greedy and corrupted masands, as per Dharam Pal Ashta in The Poetry of the Dasam Granth (1959). [4] Some verses of the work are used occasionally for Amrit Sanchar baptismal ceremonies. [4]
It was written at Anandpur Sahib. [6]
