Guru Hari Rai taking the form of Vishnu for Bhagat Bhagvan In Gurpratap Suraj Prakash Granth, when a sanyasi named Bhagvan Giri arrived humbly arrived to meet the Guru, he had a desire in his mind that the Guru adopt the four-armed *chaturbhuji* form *associated with Vishnu*: ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਅੰਤਰਜਾਮੀ ਜਾਨਾ। ਬਨੇ ਚਤੁਰਭੁਜ ਰੂਪ ਸੁਜਾਨਾ ॥੫॥ The True Guru, the knower of all hearts, knew *Bhagvan's desire* and morphed into the wise form of the Four-armed *Vishnu* ਸ਼ਯਾਮਲ ਅਲਸੀ ਕੁਸਮ ਮਨੋ ਹੈ। ਦ੍ਰਿਗ ਬਿਸਾਲ ਦਲ ਕਮਲ ਬਨੋ ਹੈ। Blue, like flower of a flax plant, with large eyes like petals of a lotus flower. ਸੰਖ ਗਦਾ ਧਰਿ ਪਦਮ ਚੱਕ੍ਰ ਕੋ। ਮੁਖ ਮੰਡਲ ਸੁਠ ਭ੍ਰਿਕੁਟਿ ਬੱਕ੍ਰ ਕੋ ॥੬॥ Holding a conch, mace, lotus, and a chakar. With a round face, with high bent eyebrows. ਪੀਤਾਂਬਰ ਸ਼ੋਭਤਿ ਬਨਮਾਲਾ। ਕੋ ਕਵਿ ਬਰਨ ਸਕੈ ਦੂਤਿ ਜਾਲਾ। Wearing beautiful yellow clothing and the vaijayanti rosary *forest flower rosary*. What poet can describe the grand beauty of this form? ਕ੍ਰਿਪਾ ਭਰੇ ਦੋ ਨੈਨ ਰਸੀਲੇ । ਮੁਸਕਾਵਤਿ ਮੁਖ ਮੰਦ ਛਬੀਲੇ ॥੭॥ Both loving eyes were filled with such grace. Gorgeous teeth could be seen as the Guru was laughing ਸਰਿਤਾਪਤਿ ਸੁੰਦਰਤਾ ਸਾਰ । ਸੇਸ ਸਾਰਦਾ ਪਾਇ ਨ ਪਾਰ । An ocean of pure beauty - even Sheshnaag and Saraswati couldn't fully describe it. ਆਇ ਕਰ੍ਯੋ ਦਰਸਨ ਜਬਿ ਐਸੇ । ਅਨਦ ਨਿਮਗਮ ਨ ਤਨ ਸੁਧਿ ਕੈਸੇ ॥੮॥ When Bhagvan Giri came and received this Darshan, in such intoxicated bliss he lost all sense of his body.
