Bani Mahala 9 - Rag Dhanasari

Rag Dhanasari

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. Under Rag Dhanasari, the Guru has revealed four Sabads, which are recorded on pages 684-685 of the Guru Granth Sahib. These four Sabads comprise two stanzas each. The stanza of rahau in each Sabad is separate from these stanzas.
