The Bachittar Natak or Bachitar Natak [note 1](Gurmukhi: ਬਚਿਤ੍ਰ ਨਾਟਕ, romanized: Bachittar Natak; 'The Wonderful Play') is partly an autobiography of Guru Gobind Singh.[3][4] The appellation Bachitar Natak is sometimes confusingly only applied around the Dasam Granth.[5][4] The Bachitar Natak Granth, not to be confused with the Bachittar Natak composition, contains a large corpus of the Dasam Granth canon.[6]
