Further to the scriptural texts, the term 'Chatka' is mentioned in virtually all accounts relating to Sikhs.

Within the great Sikh historical text, 'Pracheen Panth Prakash', Shaheed Bhai Rattan Singh Bhangu writes:

'Do Chatka and eat goats'
('Panth Prakash', Expurgated by Bhai Vir Singh, Pa. 43)

In the late 18th Century, another noted Sikh historian, Kavi Sukha Singh, claims:

'Chatka goats did Guru himself'
('Gurbilas Patshahi Dasmi', Kavi Sukha Singh (1797), Bhasha Vibhag, Pa. 171)

Yet another prominent Sikh writer, Kavi Santokh Singh writes in his text 'Siri Gur Pratap Suraj Granth':

'Accessing the healthy goats, Chatka them, [Guru Gobind Singh] had them cooked and, eaten [By Guru and his Singhs].'
('Siri Gur Partap Suraj Granth', Expurgated by Vir Singh, Vol.14, Pa. 6240)
