Dasam Granth

Dasam Granth (Punjabi: ਦਸਮ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ; or Dasven Patshah/Padshah Da Granth (Punjabi: ਦਸਵੇਂ ਪਾਤਸ਼ਾਹ ਦਾ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ, "Book of the Tenth Master"), often called Sri Dasam Granth Sahib with respect) is a scripture of Sikhism, containing much of the texts attributed to tenth Sikh guru, Guru Gobind Singh. Dasam Granth is separate granth and should not be confused with the Guru Granth Sahib. W. H. McLeod has noted that while the Guru Granth Sahib has a religious focus on "liberation through meditation", the Dasam Granth's focus has "little to do with religious belief". Some compositions of the Dasam Granth like Jaap Sahib, Tav Prasad Savaye, and Benti Chaupai are part of daily prayers Nitnem of the Sikhs. These compositions are also part of Sikh baptism (Khanda di Pahul). It is written in the Braj Bhasha language with the Gurmukhi script.
