The Inscription

The inscription tera ghar mera asay comes from the famous hukamnama or written order addressed to the two sons of Phul, Rama and Tilokha by the tenth guru, Guru Gobind Singh (see fig. 7). Rama Singh and Tilokha Singh were devoted disciples of the Guru and on August 2nd, 1696 the Guru called upon them for aid in the way of a detachment of cavalry in his battle against the Hill Rajas. It was the great tenth Guru’s hukamnamathat bestowed special status on the house of Patiala. The letter read:

There is one God. The Guru is great. It is the order of the Guru. Bhai Rama and Bhai Tilokha, the Guru will protect all. You are required to come with your contingent. I am much pleased with you. Your house is my refuge. On seeing this letter you should come in my presence. Your house is my refuge. You should come to me immediately. On seeing this letter you should arrive with horsemen. Do come. I have sent one robe of honour. Keep it with you.

The message was clear and the brothers sincerely obliged. Their response is claimed to have helped saved the Guru’s life, who blessed the Phulkian house as his own. The famous motto being adopted ever since in memory of this.
