Sri Raag Ashtapadis. Why 11th Ashtapadi has 10 padas rather than 8?

So asthapadi always mean 8 pada right. Thats how its in Sukhmani Sahib.

I was going through Sri Raag Ashtapadian. 

And I notice out of total 17 ashtapadis, the 11th one has 10 ashtapadi rather than 8 .

For eg: the number at end of each ashtapadi is like 

8 || 1 ||

8 || 2 ||

8 || 3 ||

....

8 || 10 || 

and then strangely 10 || 11 ||

then becomes usual again with 8 || 12 ||

8 || 13 || 

.... 8 || 17 ||

 

why is this so ?? (ang no 64)

Because that particular Astpadi has 10 Tuks, and there are many examples of this throughout Gurbani. 

Everyone knows what a Sawayiaa is, yet when you read Bhattaan De Sawayie, you can see that they don't necessarily follow that same structure. 

I believe I heard this in a katha of Sant Giani Gurbachan Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindran Wale, that which Gurbani is written in Astpadis, Sawaiye, Chhants etc. Gurbani is swatantar, and is not bound by these rules, hence this

This doesn't make any sense. sorry. I know it has 10 padas with 3 tuks each. 

But in an ashtapadi it should only have 8 tuks. Like in sukhmani sahib.

Thats why its called "asht"(8) padi .

Your answer doesn't answer my question sadly.

See, I appreciate that this may not satisfy you, but it is the answer nonetheless. However, I'm more than happy to concede that I may not have explained it properly, and for anyone else to expand further??

Like @Koi has explained Maharaj sets the boundaries but if need be, they'll tweak them as well. 

You will find this throughout Gurbani. Off the top of my head, look at Raag Maru sohley. Each shabad should have 16 sections as the name states - sohley. However, there are many instances where shabads have 17 sections. 

Unfortunately I can't pinpoint the katha that I heard explaining this phenomena, but I'd start to listen to Giani Kulwant Singh as he great at explaining this type of thing.

Honestly makes no sense. esp when doing for just one asta-padi out of 17 total.

This needs further research actually. Rules are not meant to be tweaked like that. We need further intellectual research in this.

Research has already been done. In SGGS Ji, Ashtpadi can have 8, 9, 10, 11, etc paddas. Guru Sahib never used the word Naupadda, Daspada, etc. to label a Shabad.

Otherwise, a whole new section in the Raag would need to be made just for Naupaddas Daspaddas etc. (this is just my theory)

So hv u verified ashtapadi has 8, 9 , 10 and till 11 only.

11 is significant because rigveda also has a thing called "tristubh" meter in which most of Rigveda hymns are written and it has 11 mantras each

No my point was that in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaaj, Ashtpaddi refers to a Shabad that has 8 or more paddas.

Here is an example of an Ashtpadi with 12 ਪਦੇ, made up of ਚਉਤੁਕੇ, and the ending one is a ਛੇਤੁਕਾ:

This is a very big mystery.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
