On this day 322 years ago, July 23rd 1698, sitting by the River Satluj, on the foothills of the Nainadevi mountain, Guru Gobind Singh completed his version of the Ramayana, the Ramavatar. Half of this nearly 900 verse section consists of blood-stirring battle descriptions 
Historical texts speak of the tradition, which some Sikhs till this day, observe and celebrate Dusshera, the day when Rama killed the demon Ravana. The celebration includes the reading of the Ramavatar along with other writings from the Dasam Granth.
Guru Gobind Singh concludes the Ramavatar with the line:
'ਰਾਮ ਕਥਾ ਜੁਗ ਜੁਗ ਅਟਲ' 'The Story of Rama will remain eternal' (verse 858)
which is to what Bhai Gurdas wrote in his Vaaran,
'ਰਾਮਾਇਣੁ ਜੁਗਿ ਜੁਗਿ ਅਟਲ' 'The Ramayana will remain eternal' (Vaar 31, Pauri 18)
'ਰਾਮ ਕਥਾ ਜੁਗ ਜੁਗ ਅਟਲ' 'The Story of Rama will remain eternal' (verse 858)
which is to what Bhai Gurdas wrote in his Vaaran,
'ਰਾਮਾਇਣੁ ਜੁਗਿ ਜੁਗਿ ਅਟਲ' 'The Ramayana will remain eternal' (Vaar 31, Pauri 18)
