Dasam Granth
Dasam Granth, collection of writings attributed to GurūGobind Singh, the tenth and last spiritual leader of the Sikhs, a religious group in India.Dasam Granth is a short title forDasven Pādśāh kā Graṅth (Punjabi: “The Book of the Tenth Emperor [i.e., spiritual leader]”). It is acompilation of hymns, philosophical writing, Hindu mythological tales, autobiography, and erotic fables, written inBraj Bhasa, Hindi, Persian, and Punjabi. Scholars are not in agreement as to the work’s total authenticity, and it may represent a bringing together of Gurū Gobind Singh’s own writings with those from other sources, such as his court poets. Though some of the hymns are used in Sikh worship and ritual, theDasam Granth is not accorded the same reverence paid to the chief Sikhscripture, theĀdi Granth.
