Subsequently some Sikhs brought this copy to the ninth Guru who returned it to Dhirmal. This copy passed into custody of Bhai Dhirmal, son of Guru Hargobind, who refused to give it to the Guru. Baba Buddha was appointed as its first Granthi or keeper. He installed the Guru Granth Sahib at Harmandir Sahib in 1604.
Guru Arjan got the original after binding. He took it for binding to Lahore and on the way prepared a copy. Guru Arjan gave the copy to Bhai Bano for binding. He got the Adi Granth written by Bhai Gurdas. So he collected from Bhai Mohan, the son of Guru Amar Das, the hymns of the first three Gurus and some Bhagats, and added to them the compositions of his father Guru Ramdas, and his own. What now he wanted was a scripture for the Sikhs. Guru Arjan gave a central place of worship to the Sikhs in Harmandir Sahib.
