      Respected Kirandeep Kaur Ji;

      I totally agree with the answer provided earlier.
      If I may add for little additional understanding.
      In Sikhi Guru is the SABD, the message,
      The Sikhs believe that the SABD was enshrined first in the body of Guru Nanak, so it is called MEHLA 1, Or the first body of the SABD,
      Then the same SABD, message, was passed onto Guru Angad, So the SABD resided in the body of Guru Angad, for that reason he is called Mehla 2, Second body of the SABD. and so on to the Mehla 3, Mehla 4 and on.

      Hope this helps on why it is called so.

      Respected Kiran ji
      Dhan Dhan Guru Granth Sahib Ji contains the Bani of 6 Guru Sahibaan. Mahla means body / sareer. Meaning with the Bani of Dhan Guru Nanak Sahib is written Mahla ੧ body first / Sareer Pehla. In the same way, the rest is with the Bani of Guru Sahib Ji. Where Mahla ੨ means body second / Sareer Dooja meaning Guru Angad Sahib Ji. The rest is the same.
