The Dasam Granth is the tradition's most awkward object: 1,428 pages attributed to Guru Gobind Singh, containing some of the most-recited material in Sikhism and some of the most disputed. Jaap Sahib opens the daily Nitnem and is one of the five banis stirred into the amrit. Bachitar Natak is his autobiography in verse. Chandi di Var supplies the line that begins the Ardas. Zafarnama is the Persian letter to Aurangzeb. And Charitropakhian, over a third of the volume, is a cycle of tales of deception told largely through women's cunning, which critics call impossible to attribute to a Guru and defenders read as a warning literature with a frame. The compilation itself was made after the Guru's death by Bhai Mani Singh and others, and no manuscript in the Guru's hand survives — which is where the historical argument starts. The practical settlement holds: it is not installed as Guru, and it is recited every morning.
