introduction

In the Guru Granth Sahib, there are fifty-seven saloks and fifty-nine Sabads revealed by Guru Teghbahadar Sahib (1621-1675). While the saloks are recorded without any prescribed rag (musical mode), the Sabads are recorded under fifteen different rags. The Guru has revealed one Sabad in mixed Rag Basant Hindol and four in Rag Basant, which are recorded on pages 1186-1187 of the Guru Granth Sahib. The Sabad under Rag Basant Hindol comprises of two stanzas, and the Sabads under Rag Basant have three stanzas each. The stanza of rahau in each Sabad is separate from these stanzas.
