| Work of poets of northern India who wrote in braj bhasha and other dialects is very well researched subject by Hindi departments of universities across northern Indian states as this is their job. There is no poet by the name of Ram or Shayam whose work match with the writing in Dasam Granth. Had there been a poet by this name his work must have been known to the researchers. The book shelves of libraries of these universities are full of research work on poets of last 700 years.

| Famous poet Mirza Ghalib of Delhi used two pen names "Ghalib" and "Asad".

| '''Harpreet Singh''': Are we stupid, one author using more then one pen names in same bani. How it is possible? On one side you are saying Shyam and Ram are different on other side in bani they both depicts same person. Both were pen names nothing else.

| '''Lakhwinder Singh''': The names Ram and Shyam are used in some places as pen names. Actually speaking, they were not pen names but poetic translations of Guruji's names. Guruji's name Gobind is an attributive name of God; so also are Ram and Shyam. In Sikh theology the three words govind, ram and syam mean the same thing as the following quotations from the Guru Granth prove:
| |
| | |
| Siyam sundar taj nind kiun ai (Guru Arjan: Suhi)
| |
| | |
| Siyam sundar taj an jo cahit jion, kusti tan jok (Surdas: Sarang)
| |
| | |
| govind govind govind har gurni nidhan
| |
| | |
| govind govind govind jap mukh ujla pardhan (Guru Bam Das: Var Kanra)
| |
| | |
| ram ram kirtan gae
| |
| | |
| ram ram ram sada sahae (Guru Arjan: Rag Gond)
| |
| | |
| In all the above quotations from the Guru Granth the words ram, syam and govind mean the same thing and so also do they in the Dasm Granth where they stand for Guru Gobind Singh. That is why two or sometime all three of these names occur in the same composition.[2]
| |
| | |
| This practice of writing a synonym for the proper noun in the Dasm Granth applies not only to his own name but to many other names also. In the Dasm Granth, Guru Gobind Singh writes Netra Trung for Naina Devi, Satdrav for Satluj, Dasmpur for Anandpur, Shah Sangram for Sango Shah, and Madra-desh for the Punjab.

| | |
| Even in our own times Bhai Sahib Vir Singh's maternal uncle Pandit Hazara Singh wrote his name Hazoor Hari while his father Dr. Charan Singh wrote his name Charan Hari. Sardar Dharma Anant Singh, in his book Plato and the True Enlightener of Soul, writes the name of Sant Attar Singh as Mrigindus Atrus.
| |
| | |
| So Ram, Shyam and Govind are synonymous names of Guru Gobind Singh.
