Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B

Explanation

Guru Arjan Dev, the fifth Sikh Guru, compiled the Adi Granth in 1604. This sacred scripture is the primary collection of Gurbani (the Divine Word), featuring hymns composed by the first five Sikh Gurus and various Bhakti and Sufi saints such as Kabir, Namdev, and Sheikh Farid.

  • Adi Granth: It refers to the original volume compiled by Guru Arjan Dev and installed at the Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple).
  • Guru Granth Sahib: This is the final version of the scripture. The tenth Guru, Guru Gobind Singh, added the hymns of the ninth Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur, and invested the text as the eternal living Guru.
  • Shabad: This term refers to the individual sacred hymns or verses found within the scripture.
  • Nam-Kirtan: This refers to the devotional practice of singing the praises of God, rather than a specific text.
