The 1430 pages of Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh holy scripture are divided into 33 sections. The first section called the pre-raga bani up to page 13 consists of three prayers : Japji - the Sikh morning prayer, Sodar - the evening prayer and Sohila - the bedtime prayer. The next 31 sections from pages 14 to 1352 are named after well known classical Raags based on human emotions based musical measures or modes e.g - Sri Raga, Raga Majh, Raga Gauri, etc. The final section from pages 1353 to 1430 is a selection of Post-raga Bani consisting of saloks or verses. These saloks include Sanskrit salokes by Bhagat Kabir and Baba Farid and svaiyay (quatrains) by the bards as well as additional saloks by the Gurus.
