Description: A transcription of a Goindwal (alternative spelt as 'Goindval') pothi (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). This transcription was carried out by Sahansar Ram, Guru Amar Das' grandson (according to Dr. Gulshan Kaur Jaggi). This is the opening folio of the pothi, most likely of the Jalandhar recension of the Goindwal pothis.
