ਮੰਗਲਾਚਰਨ
Traditional Manglacharan
This Manglacharan [invocation for beginning a task] salutes the Sikh Gurus and would be recited across various scholarly lineages before performing kathā [discourse]. Written in 1823 CE by the Great Poet Santokh Singh, this passage concludes the Nānak Prakāsh, a Brajbhāsha poetic account of Guru Nānak's history. This can be found in the Utarāradh [setting sun / second section] of the Nānak Prakāsh in Chapter 57.
