bhai mani Singh combined Guru Granth Sahib and Dasam Granth Sahib in one bir.

Reading Panth Parkash and it says Bhai Mani Singh Ji altered Guru Granth Sahib Ji, so he was cursed by the Sikh Congregation? Bhai Mani Singh had altered guru Granth Sahib’s compilation, His own body would be dismembered limb by limb. As the Sikh congregation had hurled a curse on him, Mani Singh had invited this sin upon himself. (11) As Mani Singh heard the heaping of this curse, He felt concerned at the consequences of such a curse. Since the congregation’s collective prayer never goes unrewarded, Such a curse would really be heaped upon his head. (12) Standing before the congregation with folded hands, He begged for mercy for his breach of conduct. Since the Guru and Guru’s devout congregation were synonymous, There was no difference between the Guru and congregation. (13) Since he had accepted the congregation’s verdict cheerfully, The congregation should bless him to fulfill their word. He should remain steadfast in his Sikh faith, And be able to endure the mortification of his body’s dismemberment. (14) He must not betray his faith in the least, And be able to sacrifice his life against the Mughals. He must not be scared of his body’s dismemberment
