- The Khalsa and the Ten GurusKhalsa was a Mughal term for crown land held directly by the ruler. Saināpati's Srī Gur Sobhā (probably 1711) says the Guru made all Sikhs his Khalsa by abolishing the masands.
- Amrit Sanchar and the KhalsaThe famous scene is absent from the earliest sources. Sainapati's Sri Gur Sobha, begun in 1701, names khande ki pahul without describing it; Malhotra (2009) finds descriptions first in mid-eighteenth-century texts.
