ghar cannot mean taal veerji, ex. bilaval m:4 partaal ghar 13 becomes contradicting as partaal means to use various taals for each pada but the 13 would then mean to only use that specific taal that is ghar 13 no?
From my limited understanding, Ghar essentially refers to Taal. Each Ghar represents a musical measure/beat/rhythm. This way Guru Sahib has specified not only the Raag in which the shabad is written, but the Taal which should accompany it also. Ghar 1 is daadraa (6 beats), Ghar 2 is roopak (7 beats), Ghar 3 is tin-taal (16 beats), etc.
