Note 75 — SECTION II.
Reading edition
All Singhs do not wear bracelets; but it is indispensable to have steel about their persons, which they generally have in the shape of a knife or dagger. In support of this ordinance they quote the following verses of Gúrú Góvind:
Sáheb beá ki rach'ha hamné, Tuhi Srí Sáheb, churi, káti, katár— Acál purukh ki rach'ha hamné, Serv lóh di rach'ha hamné, Servacál di rach'ha hamné, Serv lohji di sada rach'ha hamné.
which may be translated: "The protection of the infinite Lord is over us: thou art the lord, the cutlass, the knife, and the dagger. The protection of the immortal Being is over us: the protection of ALL-STEEL is over us: the protection of ALL-TIME is over us: the protection of ALL-STEEL is constantly over us."
