(Punjabi: ਨੀਸਾਣੁ [neeshaaṇ]; meaning "sign, mark, insignia [of approval]" which refers to an autograph or signature of a Sikh guru usually by scribing the Mul Mantar. Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha in 'Mahan Kosh' writes the nisans of the Sikh gurus are written in a style known as 'Shikasta' (calligraphically) which employs less use of 'Maatra' (sound symbols) and is a quick form of writing. (Source: 'Hukamnameh, Guru Sahibaan, Mata Sahibaan, Banda Singh ateh Khalsa Ji de' compiled by Dr. Ganda Singh, Panjabi University). (the word 'pothi' means a larger extract of gurbani [compositions by the Sikh Gurus, Bhagats, and others] in-comparison to a gutka, which is a smaller extraction but smaller than an entire Granth [complete-volume]) Grey-scale scan of possibly the same writing: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Autograph_of_Guru_Hargobind.jpg |
