Chandi di Vaar pronunciations?

Posted by Sukhdeep Singh 
I find the recitation of Chandi Di Vaar extremely difficulty. When Im reciting this bani I noticed then when I recite certain words it does not feel right. A Singh was once telling me that there are many errors of this bani when printed in the various Gutkey . I was think this would be a good thread to ask questions pertaining to this bani.

First question is in the following pangti

ਤੈਥੋਂ ਹੀ ਬਲੁ ਰਾਮ ਲੈ ਨਾਲ ਬਾਣਾ ਦਹਸਿਰੁ ਘਾਇਆ
should sassa have an addak under the word ਦਹਸਿਰੁ. Since ਦਹਸਿਰੁ is referring to the 10 heads ( das) sir ( head) of King Ravana. I dont undersand why there is a haha in this word?

Also how is the following word " ਸਾਤੇ "pronounced in this pangti?

ਛੀਨਿ ਲਈ ਠਕੁਰਾਈ ਸਾਤੇ ਦਾਨਵੀ ॥

thanks

ਦਹਸਿਰੁ, Ten headed i.e. RAVAN.

Veer Ji, may be your question is not clear to me. Why there is haha in the word? It is there because, ਦਹਸਿਰੁ means Ravan (ਦਹ means ten). Probably Aunkar with RARA shows das sir wala.

Should sassa have an addak under the word ਦਹਸਿਰੁ. This line is not clear Ji. Addak is always on the words.confused smiley

And ਸਾਤੇ probably means ਸਾ ਤੇ i.e. Sadde Ton. If it is so, I think ਸਾ ਤੇ should be pronounced separately.

Veer Ji sorry for not being clear sad smiley

I thought in both Punjabi and Hindi 10 means das I did not know ਦਹ also means 10?

In regrads to addak I used a poor choice of words. What I meant to say is under the word ਦਹਸਿਰੁ should there be a addhak on top of sassa.

Thanks for explaining the meaning of ਸਾ ਤੇ

Regarding saatay, I would put some stress in the middle of the word. It means from us.
