<p class="C1">&#65279H&#256FIZ&#256B&#256D (32º-4'N, 73º-41'E), a sub-divisional town in Gujr&#257&#7749w&#257l&#257 district of Pakistan, claimed a historical Sikh shrine commemorating the visit of Gur&#363 Hargobind, who stopped here briefly travelling back from Kashm&#299r in 1620. Gurdw&#257r&#257 Chhev&#299&#7749 P&#257tsh&#257h&#299, as it was known, remained affiliated to the Shiroma&#7751&#299 Gurdw&#257r&#257 Parbandhak Committee until 1947 when it was abandoned in the wake of the partition of the Punjab. H&#257fiz&#257b&#257d is also famous in the Sikh tradition because of the association of the name of the town with a Janam S&#257kh&#299 manuscript which was discovered here in 1884 by Bh&#257&#299 Gurmukh Si&#7749gh of the Oriental College, Lahore. Bh&#257&#299 Gurmukh Si&#7749gh passed the manuscript on to Max Arthur Macauliffe, who had it lithographed. In his introduction to the lithographed edition, Bh&#257&#299 Gurmukh Si&#7749gh designated the work as <i>H&#257fiz&#257b&#257d Janam S&#257kh&#299</i>. The text did not diverge much from the older Colebrooke manuscript known as <i>Val&#257yatv&#257l&#299 Janam S&#257kh&#299</i>.</p>
