Bhumika meaning?


Recommended Posts

Been reading old punjabi books recently and they have a page titled "bhumika" what does that mean? Its normally just the author talking about the book and subject.

And then "thathkra" I guess means the content? As under thathkra they list the content of the book and what is is discussed in what page. 

Also some1 gave me this old translation of Guru Nanaks janamsakhi it's like a punjabi translation and under the title it says "bha : chattr singh and jivan singh"

What does "bha" mean  are they the authors? 

Never heard these words before.

What does Teeka mean? I have this other book it was my Nanis, its of Suraj Prakash and title says "Suraj Prakash da vaartk teeka"

It also says Lekhk Giani Tarlok Singh,  which i guess is the writer ? 

Just getting familiar with the terminology in Punjabi books ...
