While a great deal of it, cast in traditional verse forms (salokas and pauris), could best be understood in the context of the well-known classical ragas, its hymns and songs make use of popular folk meters such as alahanis, ghoris, chands etc. Based upon some of the local dialects, it was leavened with expressions from Sanskrit, Prakrit, Persian and Arabic.Īnother outstanding feature of the Guru Granth Sahib is the precision of its prosody. Its appeal lay in its directness, energy and resilience. The language principally employed is the language of the saints evolved during the medieval period-a language which, allowing for variations, still enjoyed wide currency in Northern India. The poetry of the Guru Granth is in itself a subject worthy of the highest consideration.
