[116] Agreeably to this author, Gúrú Góvind was initiated on Friday,
the 8th of the month B'hádra, in the year 1753 of the æra of
Vicramáditya; and on that day his great work, the Dasama Pádsháh ká
Grant'h, or book of the tenth king, was completed.
[117] An author, whom I have often quoted, says, Gúrú Góvind gave
the following injunctions to his followers: "It is right to slay a
Muhammedan wherever you meet him. If you meet a Hindú, beat him and
plunder him, and divide his property among you. Employ your constant
effort to destroy the countries ruled by Muhammedans. If they oppose
you, defeat and slay them."
