The Sikh Preacher
The Illustrated London
News - Guru Govind inculcated his tenents upon his followers
by his preaching, his action, and his works; among the latter
is " Das'ama Padshah Ka Gurunth," or Book of the
Tenth King, he being the tneth ruler from Nanac, the founder
of the religion. This work, together with the "Adi-Gurunth"
of Nanac - their only other sacred book - is held in great
veneration by the Sikhs.
Sir John Malcolm, while in the Punjaub in 1805, succeded
in procuring a copy of the " Adi-Gurunth" from
a Chief, who sent it to him at night, after haveing obtained
a promise that he would treat the sacred volume with great
respect. A Mr. Colebrook, with preservering assiduity, was
also able to precure not only the "Adi-Gurunth,"
but the "Das'ama Padshah Ka Gurunth"- the two
most sacred books of the Sikhs. - drawings by G.T. Vigne,
