APanj Granthi (Gurmukhi:ਪੰਜ ਗ੍ਰੰਥੀ,romanized: Paja grathī,lit. 'five books') is a pothi which contains five hymns chosen fromGuru Granth Sahib.
The Guru Granth Sahib is very sacred so it can only be recited in a prescribed ritualistic manner. Small anthologies called Gutka Sahib or Panj Granthi began to be made for recitation of certain hymns in private setting. They are usually small and easily fit in the hand of a person. Nowadays, the title 'Panj Granthi' has become a misnomer as a Panj Granthi may include more than five hymns from Guru Granth Sahib. A parallel booklet known as 'Das Granth' also exists which exclusively contains chosen compositions fromDasam Granth.[1][2][3][4]
Das Granthi (Gurmukhi:ਦਸ ਗ੍ਰੰਥੀ,romanized: Dasa grathī,lit. 'ten books') is a small religious booklet containing only few selected compositions fromDasam Granth. Das stands forTen and Granthi stands forbooklet. It means Booklet of 10th Guru of Sikhism. This booklet was created for beginners and lay readers for reading these compositions in daily liturgy for proper understanding.[5][6][7]
There is no standardization of this booklet and various sects in Sikhism have their own versions. TheShiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee contains eight texts namely,Jaap,Bachitra Natak,Chandi Charitra I,Shabad Hazare Patshahi 10,Akal Ustati,Chandi Charitra 2, Gian Prabodh andChandi di Var.[8]
