While the saloks are recorded without any prescribed rag (musical mode), the Sabads are recorded under fifteen different rags. Under Rag Tilang Kafi, the Guru has revealed one Sabad and under Rag Tilang two Sabads, which are recorded on page 726-727 of the Guru Granth Sahib. The Sabad under Rag Tilang Kafi comprises of two stanzas. While the first Sabad under Rag Tilang comprises of two stanzas, the second has three stanzas. The stanza of rahau in each Sabad is separate from these stanzas.
