The "Dasam Granth" contains hymns, from mythological Hindu texts, which are a retelling of the feminine in the form of goddess Durga, an autobiography, letters to others such as the Mughal emperor, as well as reverential discussion of warriors and theology. The scripture was recited in full within Nirmala Sikhs in the contemporary era. Parts of it are popularly retold from Hindu Purans, for the benefit of the common man, who had no access to Hindu texts of the time. Compositions of the Dasam "Granth" include Jaap Sahib, Tav-Prasad Savaiye and Benti Chaupai which are part of the Nitnem or daily prayers and also part of the Amrit Sanchar or initiation ceremony of Khalsa Sikhs.
