Verses ascribed to the poet-saint Kabir are found compiled in several traditions, including the Bijak, Kabir Granthavali, and the Adi Granth Sahib.

1. **Bijak:** This is the most important and comprehensive collection of Kabir’s verses, considered the sacred text of the Kabir Panth. It is primarily associated with the eastern traditions of Kabir, prevalent in regions like Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and parts of Bengal. Varanasi is a key location associated with Kabir and the Bijak tradition. (Statement 1 is correct).
2. **Kabir Granthavali:** This collection is associated with the Dadu Panth in Rajasthan and represents the northern tradition of Kabir’s verses. (Statement 2 is correct).
3. **Adi Granth Sahib:** The sacred scripture of Sikhism contains a significant number of hymns attributed to Kabir (Kabirvani or Bhagat Bani), alongside the writings of other Bhakti saints. (Statement 3 is correct).

These three compilations represent different regional traditions and recensions of Kabir’s verses, reflecting the wide influence and diverse interpretations of his teachings. While there are variations across these texts, they collectively form the primary sources for studying Kabir’s philosophy and poetry.
