When Guru Arjan was compiling the Guru Granth Sahib, he added a few
sloks of Guru Nanak and in some cases
Guru Angad, the second Guru. These sloks are tied together in a way that they relate to the same theme as highlighted in the pauri. In its present form, the
Asa Di Var contains a few more shabads recited by
Guru Ram Das, the fourth Sikh Guru. According to Christopher Shackle, the work was composed by Guru Nanak. ==References==
