Editing Jaap Sahib (section)

==Form==
''Jaap Sahib'' is made up of 199 verses and is the first Bani of the [[Dasam Granth]] (p.&nbsp;1-10).

The Jaap Sahib begins with the words:

{{fs interlinear|lang=pa|indent=2
|ਸ੍ਰੀ ਮੁਖਵਾਕ ਪਾਤਿਸਾਹੀ {੧੦ ॥}
|Sri Mukhwakh Patshahi Dasvee
|"By the holy mouth of the Tenth Emperor,"}}

This line is clearly intended to authenticate Guru Gobind Singh Ji as the Author of the Dasam Granth.

''Jaap'' is a Sanskrit word which means "to utter in a low voice, whisper, mutter (especially prayers or incantations); to invoke or call upon in a low voice." The form of the word here is ''Japu'', which makes it a noun, meaning "meditation on nothing but the Truth; ('God') (or The True God).
