Summary
[edit]DescriptionDasam Granth frontispiece British Library Manuscript Or 6298 1825-1850 CE.jpg |
English: The British Library preserves a Dasam Granth manuscript in its collections. It was published before 1850 CE.
It is a secondary Sikh scripture attributed to the tenth and last of the Gurus, Guru Gobind Singh (1666-1708). This is a photo of the frontispiece of the manuscript. The center has Gurmukhi text. Surrounding it clockwise: the top image is of the Hindu goddess Saraswati holding vina and other items with a peacock and a reverential boy standing. The second is a young adult seated on throne. The third is a warrior on a horse with some weapon in his right hand, his forehead marked with red band, carrying bow and arrows on his left shoulder. The fourth is similar to the third, but with a hunter's falcon on his right hand. The fifth shows him seated with a sword. The sixth shows him seated with a falcon on his left hand. According to curator notes of the British Library: It was written in Braj Hindi, Persian and Punjabi, and collated by Bhai Mani Singh in 1730. This manuscript, dating from between 1825 and 1850, includes a catalogue of weapons as well as devotional works and the Guru’s autobiography.
