Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: Folio from the Military Manual of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. It is written in Persian. Artwork depicting Guru Nanak with Mardana to his left and Bala to his right can also be seen.
Translation of the text from Persian: "O firmament of love, of knowledge, the guide of ascetics, the manifestation of divine light, the opener of the gates of knowledge, one who has climbed the stages of gnosis, the ascender of the heavenly heights, the revealer of the subtle secrets of the Being, the knower of the mysteries of the visible and invisible worlds, the pilgrim of the world of angels and spirits, the summit of guidance, the luminous guide of the stars in the sky, one who has crossed the oceans of devotion, the faithful elect of the heavenly Court, the beauty spot on the face of the loved one, O epiphany of the divine attributes, shadow of the absolute essence, connoisseur of the realities of the nine celestial thrones, king of the chosen - these are the attributes of the Guru Sahib, GURU NANAK." |

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  | ||||
