| The word '''Sukhmani''' is rendered into English as '''“consoler of the mind.”''' The entire poem has been translated into English more than once under the commonly preferred title, '''"[[Jewel of peace]]"''', '''“Psalm of peace”''' or '''“Song of peace”''', signifying the soothing effect it has on the mind of the reader. '''Sukh''' literally means ''peace or comfort'' and '''mani''' means ''mind or heart'' also ''jewel'' (<big> ਮਣੀ </big> in Gurmukhi can mean ''jewel, gem, precious stone''<ref>[http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.dictionary Mahan Kosh Encyclopedia, Gurbani Dictionaries and Punjabi/English Dictionaries]</ref>).

| '''Sukhmani''' or '''Sukhmani Sahib''' is the title given to the [[Bani|Gurbani]] in ''raga Gauri Sukhmani''<ref>[http://www.srigranth.org/servlet/gurbani.gurbani?Action=Page&Param=262&english=t&id=11587#l11587 www.srigranth.org page 262]</ref> in the [[Guru Granth Sahib]]. It is a lengthy composition, written by [[Guru Arjan Dev]], the fifth [[Sikh Guru]] and takes over 1 hour for a competent reader to read in totality.

| The sacred prayer spans 35 pages from page 262 to page 296 of the [[Guru Granth Sahib]]. Surprisingly, many ardent Sikhs include the recitation of this [[Bani]] in their daily regimen of [[Nitnem]].
