This composition, aligned with the fifteen lunar days, follows Sukhmani Sahib in the Guru Granth Sahib. Though brief, it shares Sukhmani Sahib's simplicity and depth of message, making it a customary recitation after Sukhmani Sahib. The term ‘thiti’ is a variant of ‘tithi,’ a Sanskrit word that appears in the Guru Granth Sahib as ‘thiti,’ ‘thīti,’ or ‘thitī.’ Poetry inspired by the lunar calendar is referred to as ‘thiti.’ This poetic form reflects the lunar phases, created by the moon's waxing and waning.
