I came across this picture the other day which is supposedly a picture of a 1877 rehatnama.

In the third line from the top there is mention of Panj Kakkars.
1. Kangha 2. Kard 3. Keso mey Karha (ਕੇਸੋ ਮੇ ਕੜਾ) ੪ Sarab Loh Karah on right hand 5 Kacchera
There are some problems I have with this rehat the obvious one being number 3.
Its strange how all the kakkars are place in order but number 3 includes both " Kes and Karah" ?
Also in all the other rehats the hora seems to be long but in this one it seems short. It seems like it has been changed from a Sihari that would haave spelled keski. I dont know how the word ਮੇ ( in)appears next to kes. It does not make sense to say Kes in Karha it would be the other way around. In addition the mama ਮ seems to be placed much higher in the sentence then the other letters?
Does anyone else know about the authenticity of this rehat and where it comes from? I dont want to waste my time reading the whole rehat unless I found the source.
Along with karha being on the right side there is a rehatnama that says Sri Sahib should be on right side when meeting Panj pyaarey?
Also there is mention of reading Chaupey Sahib before Swaayey when preparing Amrit?
