It is authoritative for the text the Panth itself authorizes as scripture; the history of how it was compiled and redacted over time is a separate, separately sourced historical question. It is cited by Ang, the standard page number of the uniform 1430 page printed edition, so a specific citation can be checked against any printing.FactsCross-Tradition ConnectionsClaims Backed By This Source (370 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsCitationAuthorWell-attestedCompiled by Guru Arjan, 1604; final recension attributed to Guru Gobind Singh, 1706PublisherWell-attestedShiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak CommitteePublication YearWell-attested1604URLWell-attestedhttps://www.sikhs.org/english/frame.htmlSource TypeWell-attestedprimary-textAssessmentReliability TierWell-attested1The Sikh scripture compiled by Guru Arjan with its final recension attributed to Guru Gobind Singh, published and held in trust by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, the text the Panth itself authorizes as scripture.NotesWell-attestedCited by Ang, the standard pagination of the 1430-page printed edition, which is uniform across all printings.CustodianCustodian SourceWell-attestedYesCustodian BodyWell-attestedShiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak CommitteeCustodian BasisWell-attestedScripture as published by the body that holds custody of it.
