Haqiqat Raje Shivnabh Ki. MS., BM. Or. 1125.
An account of Raja Shivnabh of Ceylone.
“The Hakikat has reference to Shivnabh, King of Ceylon,
and to former rulers from the time of Mayadune. It describes Ceylon
as being three days’ journey from Nagapatam, the sea-port town of
Tanjore, and shortly notices the establishment of Sikh and Bhatriya
communities In that island, with reference to some of its rulers.”
The Haqiqat, together with three additional hymns ascribed
to Guru Nanak is placed between the Mundavani and the Ragmala
(fol. 692a-695a) in the copy of the Adi Grantha, found by Henry
Erskine in one of the tents on the battle-field of Gujerat, 1849, and,
now preserved in the British Museum; under PanJabi Mss. Or. 1125.
It is interesting to record here the following note that
appears at the end of the volume.
“After the Infantry charging the Enemy at Goojert, the
Cavalry and Light Artillery pursued the fugitive Sikhs and Afghans.
The Infantry then advanced steadily in line until clear of the blazing
Camp when they filled arms. It was there I found this book in a
tent of one of the hostile, chiefs-probably Sher Singh. It is highly
prized by the, Sikhs, and I have had many solicitations from Sikh
gentlemen. Lahore, 1849 Apri I. Henry Erskine,
