Dasvandh or Dasaundh, literally a tenth part, refers to the
practice of contributing in the name of the Guru one-tenth of one's earnings
towards the common resources of the community (Wand Kay Shako).
This is a form of seva (humble service) .In Guru Nanak's own line:
"ghali khai kichhu hathhu dei, Nanak rahu pachhanahi sei"
- He alone, O Nanak, knoweth the way who eats out of what he earneth by his
honest labour and yet shareth part of it with others (GG, 1245).
