Folio of a Das Gur Katha manuscript, ca.1700

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Folio of a Das Gur Katha manuscript, ca.1700. Description taken from source:

Das Gur Katha (Story of the Ten Gurus) dated C.1700 by Kavi Kankan is a relatively unknown work and was only brought to the notice of scholars after its discovery in Lahore. It is not clear whether the original is still extant but a copy resides at Khalsa College in Amritsar. The language is a mixture of Braj Bhasha and Punjabi. The theme of the work is a short history of the Ten Gurus from Guru Nanak to Guru Gobind Singh. The Kavi refers to the succession of the Gurus. Elaborate descriptions of Guru Hargobind in battle as well as reference to the concept of Miri-Piri are outlined. The creation of the Khalsa is also referred to by Kankan. This manuscript references the Bani of the Tenth Guru as well as containing a rare Rahitnama (Code of conduct).
