The Dasam Patishah Ji Da Granth (Gurmukhi: ਦਸਮ ਪਾਤਿਸ਼ਾਹ ਦਾ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ), commonly known as Dasam Granth (Gurmukhi: ਦਸਮ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ), is a religious text containing many of the texts written primarily in Brij Bhasha, with Awadhi, Hindustani, Punjabi and Persian compositions written almost entirely in the Gurmukhi script except for the Fatehnama, Zafar Nama and Hikayat, which are in the Persian alphabet.^[1]

The Dasam Granth is a separate religious text from the Guru Granth Sahib.^[2]

Some compositions of the Dasam Granth such as Jaap Sahib, Tav-Prasad Savaiye and Benti Chaupai are part of the Nitnem or daily prayers and also part of the Amrit Sanchar or baptism ceremony.

Authorship[edit]

Although the compositions of the Dasam Granth are widely accepted to be penned by Guru Gobind Singh there are some that still question the authenticity of the Dasam Granth. There are three major views on the authorship of the Dasam Granth:^[3]

1. The historical and traditional view is that the entire work was composed by Guru Gobind Singh himself.
2. The entire collection was composed by the poets in the Guru's entourage.
3. Only a part of the work was composed by the Guru, while the rest was composed by the other poets.

In his religious court at Anandpur Sahib, Guru Gobind Singh had employed 52 poets, who translated several classical texts into Braj Bhasha. Most of the writing compiled at Anandpur Sahib was lost while the Guru's camp was crossing the Sirsa river before the Battle of Chamkaur (1704). There were copiers available at the Guru's place who made several copies of the writings. Later, Bhai Mani Singh compiled all the available works under the title Dasam Granth.

The traditional scholars claim that all the works in Dasam Granth were composed by the Guru himself, on the basis of Bhai Mani Singh's letter. But the veracity of the letter has been examined by scholars and found to be unreliable. Any one even moderately acquainted with Hindi can tell from the internal evidence of style that Chandi Charitar and Bhagauti ki War are translations by different hands. Some others dispute the claim of the authorship, saying that some of the compositions included in Dasam Granth (such as Charitropakhyan) are 'out of tune' with other Sikh scriptures, and must have been composed by other poets.^[4] The names of poets Raam, Shyam and Kaal appear repeatedly in the granth. References to Kavi Shyam can be seen in Mahan Kosh of Bhai Kahan Singh Nabha, under the entry 'Bawanja Kavi' and also in Kavi Santokh Singh's magnum opus Suraj Prakash Granth.

Historical writings[edit]

The following are historical books after the demise of Guru Gobind Singh which mention that the compositions in the present Dasam Granth was written by Guru Gobind Singh:

Structure[edit]

The length of the printed version of Dasam Granth is 1428 pages.^[10][11]

It contains the Jaap Sahib, the Akal Ustat or praise of the Creator and the Bachittar Natak, which gives an account of the Guru's parentage, his divine mission and the battles in which he had been engaged.

Next come three abridged compositions of the wars of Durga, called Chandi, with demons (Chandi Chritras: Chandi Chritra I, Chandi Chritra II, Chandi di Var).

Following this is the Gyan Parbodh, or awakening of knowledge; the Shabad Hazare; quatrains called savaiye (singular savaiya), which are hymns in praise of God and reprobation of idolatry and hypocrisy; the Shastar Nam Mala, a list of offensive and defensive weapons used in the Guru's time with special reference to the attributes of the Creator; the Kabiovach Bainti Chaupai, which will 'absolve the suffering, pain or fear of the person, who will even once recite this Bani';^{[citation needed]} the Zafarnamah, containing the Tenth Guru's epistle to the emperor Aurangzeb; and hikayats, Persian language metrical tales.

Role in Sikh liturgy[edit]

The compositions within Dasam Granth play a huge role in Sikh liturgy, which is prescribed by Sikh Rehat Maryada:

• Jaap Sahib is part of Nitnem, which Sikh recites daily in morning.^[13][14]
• Tav-Prasad Savaiye, again a bani of Nitnem, is part of Akal Ustat composition, which is recited daily in morning along with above.^[13]
• Benti Chaupai, is part of Sri Charitropakhyan, which is recited in morning as well as evening prayers.^[14]
• Jaap, Tav Prasad Savaiye and Chaupai are read while preparing Khande Batey Ki Pahul.
• The first stanza of the Sikh ardās, an invocation to God and the nine Gurus preceding Gobind Singh, is from Chandi di Var.
• As per Sikh Rehat Maryada, a stanza of Chaubis Avtar, 'pae gahe jab te tumre', should be comprised in So Dar Rehras.^[15]

Chandi di Var is important prayer among Nihang and Namdhari Sikhs.

Compilation[edit]

The Guru by his time at Damdama Sahib, around 1705, assembled a large set of literature on bramvidiya and other topics much was formed by his 52 poets and some say that these 52 poets also contributed directly to the Dasam Granth.^[16]

The earliest surviving full manuscript of the Dasam Granth dates to 1713,^[12] although it appears not to have been publicly available. In 1721, Mata Sundari commissioned Bhai Mani Singh with compiling a volume of the Dasam Granth.^[17] He completed his manuscript after collecting and sifting through material collected from a number of Sikhs. 'Minor textual variation' exist between the early manuscripts.^[12]

Giani Gian Singh claims that the full copy of the Dasam Granth was in possession of the Budha Dal, an 18th-century Sikh army, at the Battle of Kup and was lost during the Second Sikh Holocaust (1762)^[18] During the 1890s the text was standardized into its current two-volume 1,428 page print version.^[12]
