There is dispute over the authorship of Charitropakhyan among scholars, with some claiming that it is out of tune with other Sikh scriptures, and thus must have been composed by other poets. There are two types of Charitars, Purakh Charitar (male characters) and Tria Chariter (female characters). The term Charitropakhyan is derived from two words, Charitar means characteristics/function of character and Pakhyan means already told. This composition ends at Chopai which is one of the Nitnem banis. The composition contains 404 tales or episodes of wiles of men and women, containing many historical, mythological and philosophical aspects, having 7558 verses. Sri Charitropakhyan or Pakhyan Charitar and also Tria Charitra ( Punjabi: ਪਖ੍ਯਾਨ ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰ, also known as ਸ਼੍ਰੀ ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰੋਪਾਖ੍ਯਾਨ and ਤ੍ਰਿਯਾ ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰ) is a huge composition, with the purpose of learning from others' mistakes to acquire more refined judgement in all fields, present in Dasam Granth, which is generally and traditionally ascribed to Guru Gobind Singh.
