ਸੰਤ ਸਭਾ ਮਹਿ ਬੈਸਿ ਕਿ ਕੀਰਤਿ ਮੈ ਕਹਾਂ ॥

I have read from the santhya section that the vishraam has to be after ਕਿ. What would be the sihaari on ਬੈਸਿ stands for?

ਸੰਤ ਸਭਾ ਮਹਿ ਬੈਸਿ ਕਿ, ਕੀਰਤਿ ਮੈ ਕਹਾਂ ॥

ਸੰਤ ਸਭਾ ਮਹਿ ਬੈਸਿ ਕਿ, ਕੀਰਤਿ ਮੈ ਕਹਾਂ ॥

Many old Saroops don't have a sihaari at the end of ਬੈਸਿ, including the teeka done by Giani Harbans Singh and Professor Sahib Singh. I personally think that this word should be without Sihaari as in old Saroops but in case the Sihaari is to be there for sure, then the reason for it could be either the word is of feminine gender noun or because it's a verb.

Many times verbs are made from nouns by adding a sihaari in the end e.g. ਜਪਿ. Similarly, many masculine nouns are made into feminine gender nouns by adding a sihaari in the end e.g. ਸੇਵਕੁ ਤੋਂ ਸੇਵਕਿ, ਦਾਸੁ ਤੋਂ ਦਾਸਿ.

Rest Gurbani is Agam Agaadh Bodh.

Thank you Bhai Sahib jio. ਬੈਸਿ without sihaari would make perfect sense.

I was thinking that the sihaari at the end represent Ke as Baith Ke so the meaning would be Sant Sabha vich baith ke vi mein teri kee keerat kar sakda haan as to relate to the previous tuk ਉਸਤਤਿ ਕਹਨੁ ਨ ਜਾਇ ਮੁਖਹੁ ਤੁਹਾਰੀਆ ॥
