I am reading the Guru Granth Sahib and had a question in regards to what is meant by the following on pg 51:

Siree Raag, Fifth Mehl, Sixth House:

I know the Raag is the style of the bani, fifth Mehl means it is written by the Fifth Guru (Guru Arjan), but what does second house or sixth house mean?

Thanks! I look forward to your answer.

Sat nam. I asked a Punjabi professor of Sikh Studies, and this is what he said:
"Ghar is for music especially Tabla. It has nothing to do with meaning or placing as Bani because of its purely musical measure."
