Below is a photo from a full Saroop of the Faridkot Tika, the photo is of the Bhoomika, or Preface. Below is a short paraphrase translation of a paragraph within the Bhoomika.
"The Sanatan Sampradyas meanings [of Gurbani] that have come down through an oral tradition [Seena b Seena], having not been written down have now caused disagreement [with the meanings] during the Sikh Raj period.
Other ideologies [Matan] have now started to disrespect the Mahatama's of the [traditional] Sikh Sampradyas and are not respecting the Sanatan Sampradya meanings [of Gurbani] and are presenting their own meanings."
