A set of 404 stories of cheating women written by this figure is the source of a prayer used in initiation rituals. A group credits an “All-Iron Scripture” written by this figure for their “warrior spirit.” This figure supposedly dictated a text’s current recension from memory at Dāmdāmā when Dhir Mal (“DEER mull”) hoarded prior editions. This figure wrote a passage that starts “Sravags (“sruh-VAHGS”) have I seen,” which, with a text by an [emphasize] earlier author, is recited daily at 3 a.m. as part of the Nitnem. This author of a 1705 Ẓafarnāma, or “Epistle of Victory,” wrote a prayer recited while sugar and water are stirred with a sword. This author first performed that baptism ritual for the Panj Pyare (“punj PYAH-reh”), or “Five Beloved Ones,” who entered his tent. For 10 points, name this author of the Dasam Granth (“duh-sum grunt”), who named the Adi Granth (“AH-dee grunt”) as his successor as the last human Sikh guru. ■END■
ANSWER: Guru Gobind Singh [prompt on Singh; reject “Hargobind”] (Clues include the Charitropakhyan section of the Dasam Granth, the Nihang’s reverence for the Sarbloh Granth, and Gobind’s dictation of the authoritative version of the Adi Granth to Bhai Mani Singh.)
