The Shahname Echoes in Sikh Poetry and the Origins of the Nihang’s Name, Asadullah Chirvani, 2002

This is one of the most informed writings on Guru ji's zafarnama that I've ever read. It's by a Persian scholar too.

Great Info as usual!

Veer jeeo can u plz give some info about a short bani called 'Fatehnama'.Its associated it with Sri Zafarnama Sahib. I read it and I knew my Dasmesh Pita wrote it.

Plz give some info on Bhai Daya Singh Ji too. He was a brahamgyani of Guru Ghar.

Why do nirmalas associate Bhai Daya Singh Ji with them and whats that story?

[GPS]

Bhai daya Singh was a scholar. Nirmalas were Sikhs sent to Benares by guru sahib to acquire knowledge of Sanskrit language so that they can themselves decipher Hindu texts. They became so adept in Sanskrit that Pandits there came to learn language from them.

Bhai Daya Singh and bhai Dharam Singh two of five piaras were sent to aurangabad to deliver zafarnama to Aurangzeb. They delivered it and met guru sahib with King,s message at Dina kangar near bathinda in 1705.

We will talk about fatehnama separately
