Summary

Description
English: Inscribed copper-plate ('tamar-patar' [alt. spelt as 'tamar-patra', 'tamra-patra', and alt. known as 'tamra-shasan' or 'tamarashasana']) gifted by Guru Gobind Singh to a Shiva temple in Kapal Mochan (near Paonta). The plate at Kapal Mochan is dated to 1679 C.E. (Samat 1736, katak badi panchami din mangalvar), and its inscription is written in standard/regular (non-calligraphic) Gurmukhi. Description of the copper-plate and a translation of its inscription by G. S. Mann:

"The plate at Kapal Mochan is dated 1679 (Samat 1736, katak badi panchami din mangalvar), and its inscription uses regular Gurmukhi. Its text reads: "One God, with the grace of the Guru. The Khalsa belongs to the Immortal one. Guru Gobind Singh bestowed the hukamnama on Jawala Das Brahman [Brahmin] on Tuesday, October 14, 1679. My Sikh, who will follow this hukamnama, will be blessed." The following text records the opening passage of Sikh ardas ("supplication") ['ardaas'], which supports the belief that the success of the Khalsa is imminent and that Guru Gobind Singh along with his nine predecessors, all recipients of divine blessings, will help those who will work for this victory.According to its custodians, the Guru made two visits to their place, and bestowed upon the family a plate in 1679 and a hukamnama inscribed on an illuminated paper in 1688. A Sikh account also narrates the Guru's visit to Kapal Mochan in 1688 but makes no reference to any of these artifacts."
