PANDIYAT-I JAWANMARDI - TRANSLATION.

In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate.

(Scribe's Prefatorial Note):

(This book, full of wisdom and mercy, the Pandiyat-i Jawanmardi, i.e. "Advices of
Manliness," contains only the farmans, instructions, mercifully bestowed by Mawlana Imam
Mustansir bi'llah the Second. Mawlana the Imam, at the time of his Imamat, appointed this
book as his "proof" (hujjat) in the community of his followers, he, Mawlana, only he
sufficient for us!

Copied from an old manuscript, coming from Tung, in the "abode of khilafat" Sarikol, which,
on account of its antiquity, has lost some lines at the beginning and the end.)

... .eternally. Amen.
