- The Encyclopaedia of Sikhism (published 1992-98) says a copy believed to be by Baba Deep Singh is kept at Damdama Sahib, with 707 leaves plus 29 leaves of contents. The Sikh Museum site (copyright 2013) credits a Baba Deep Singh manuscript to Gurdwara Chhevin Padshahi, Punjab. These may or may not be the same volume.
Baba Deep Singh led the scholarly and scribal community at Damdama Sahib before his martyrdom in 1757. Both sources describe the attribution as belief or tradition rather than a signed record.
