The first edition of this book was Published by Guru Nanak Institute of Sikh studies, Denmark and the Sikh Educational Trust, Edmonton, Canada about Twenty years ago but I was extremely busy with other Lexicographic projects. The demand for the first and second edition of this book was such that a new edition was necessary. I hope that this enlarged and revised edition will be of greater service to the sikh studies.Many additions have been made to the subject matter of the book and I wish to thank readers of the first edition for their valuable suggestions, most of which have been incorporated in this edition. I am grateful to the authors of various books and periodicals which I have freely consulted in this revision. At the end I express my heartfelt gratitude to my well wishers and scholars for their valuable suggestions and moral help rendered from time to time.
