![]() The Jaap Sahib begins with "Sri Mukhwakh Patshahi Dasvee," "By the holy mouth of the Tenth King." This appears to be a specific saying to authenticate the writings of Guru Gobind Singh himself. Jaap Sahib is made up of 199 verses and is the first Bani of the Dasam Granth (p.1-10). During these three years guru Sahib may have composed Jaap Sahib, Swaiyey & Akal Ustat. Professor Sahib Singh says, " That Guru Gobind SIngh went to Nahan in 1684 and lived there for approximately 3 years. Guru Gobind Singh ji completed this bani before 1699, because this bani was recited during the installation of khalsa. Guru Gobind Singh was a worshipper of one God (Akal) this is proved by the first stanza of Jaap sahib. This bani has the same place in Dasam Granth as Japji Sahib in Guru Granth Sahib. It is the second bani of the five in the daily morning prayers routine of a Sikh. It is one of the Five Banis recited by most practising Sikhs each morning and bani that the Panj Pyare recite while preparing Amrit on the occasion of Amrit Sanchaar (Sikh Initiation), a ceremony held to admit initiates into the Khalsa Brotherhood. Jaap is the bani (set of hymns) uttered by Guru Gobind Singh ji, the Tenth Sikh Guru, the Tenth Nanak.
