Guru Nanak composed hymns, which were sung by his followers in rāga set to music. [17] His successor, Guru Angad, opened centers and distributed these hymns. The community would sing the hymns and his agents collected donations. [18] This tradition was continued by the third and fourth gurus as well. The fifth guru, Guru Arjan, discovered that Prithi Chand – his eldest brother and a competing claimant to the Sikh guruship – had a copy of an earlier pothi ( palm-leaf manuscript) with hymns and was distributing hymns of the earlier gurus along with his own of hymns. [19] Guru Arjan considered these as spurious and became concerned about establishing an authentic anthology of approved hymns. [20]
