The oldest known manuscript of ''Dasam Granth'' is likely the Anandpuri bir. It is dated to the 1690s, but a few folio pages on Zafarnama and Hikayats were definitely added later, because they are composed after 1700, are in a different style and format, lacking the folio numbers present on all pages elsewhere. These letters of Guru Gobind Singh were likely appended to it in the early 18th century.<ref name="FenechMcLeod2014p92"/> According to another view, the earliest surviving manuscript of the complete text is dated to 1713, and the early manuscript versions have minor variations.<ref name="wd1999p279"/>
