Rudra Avtar (Punjabi: ਰੁਦਰ ਅਵਤਾਰ, pronunciation: [ɾu:d̪ɔ: äːʋt̪aɾ]) is an epic poem under the title Ath Rudra Avtar Kathan(n).^[1] It is traditionally said to have been written by Guru Gobind Singh. It is included in Dasam Granth, which is considered to be the second-most important scripture of the Sikhs. It is sometimes grouped together with the preceding Brahma Avtar composition into a combination termed as the Upāvatār (meaning "lesser avatars").^[2]
