Herrli, Hans (2004). The Coins of the Sikhs (2nd ed.). New Delhi: Munshiram Manoharlal Publishers. ISBN 81-215-1132-1. OCLC 56367207. Deg, Tegh and Fateh - Deg is a vessel for food, a kettle. The word is used metaphorically as a symbol for the hospitality and the spirit of sacrifice and assistance to the helpless, oppressed and needy which the Guru asked of his followers and which found a practical expression in the langars, the free kitchens maintained by Sikh Sardars. Tegh is a sword, the symbol of the secular power and Fateh means: victory.The two words Deg, Tegh summarise in the briefest possible form the essence of Sikhism, the force that enabled the Sikhs to overcome their powerful neighbours.
