? Rag. He came to the throne about 1400 A.D., and was killed 
by his son Uda in the year 1469 A.D. According to Tod (i, 289 ; 
Calc. ed. i, 308,) he was a skilled poet, and wrote a commentary to the 
Gita Gouinda. He is said to have been originally instructed in poetry 
by his wife, the famous Mira Bai (No. 20). 
22. Nanak the Bedlkhatri, of Til’warl (see Wilson, 
Essays, ii, 123) in the Panjab. B. 1469 A.D.; d. 1539 A.D. 
Rag. The celebrated founder of the Nanak-panthi sect, and part 
author of the Granth (Rag.) (see No. 169). The Granth (see Wilson, 
1. c.) is said by Sib Siijgh to contain poems by (1) Nanak, (2) 
Ay gad, (3) A mar Das, (4) Ram Das, (5) Hari Ram Das, (6) Teg 
Bahadur, (7) Gobind Siygh, (8) Kabir Das, (9) Trildchan Das , (10) 
Dhana Bhagat, (11) Ray Das, (12) Sen, (13) Shekh Farid, (14) Mira 
Bai, (15) Nam Deb (Rag.), (16) Balibhadr’. (Cf. Wilson, Religious 
Sects of the Hindus, i, 274, for a different list.) 
The first seven of these names are the names of seven of the ten 
gurus or apostles of the religion. The other three apostles were, (8) 
Hari Gobind, (9) Hari Ray, (10) Hari Kishun. Some idea of Nanak’s 
popularity may be gathered from the fact that I have collected 
unwritten songs purporting to be by him in the heart of Mithila.

ADDENDA TO CHAPTER II. 
23. ^T Charan Das, the 
Brahman of Pandit’pur, district Faiz- 
ctbad. B. 1480 A.D. 
Bag. The author of a work entitled 
the Gyan’swaroday. 
24. srrffrr, Ajabes, the 
old poet of that name. B. 1513 A.D. 
Sun. He attended the court of king 
Blr Bhan Siygh (1540—1554), of 
Bandho (Biuia), 1 and seems to have 
resided as a professional bard in that 
country. Cf. Ho. 530. 
1 The Sib Siygh Saroj gives Jogh’pur, which is apparently a misprint 
for Jodh’pur ; hut I can find no reference to a prince of Jodh’pur named Bir 
Bhan. Ajabes in one of his poems states that this prince protected Ak’bar when 
a child. Bir Bhan was, therefore, the prince of that name in Bandho ( Riuua ), 
with whom Humayun took refuge. See art. Bewah in Imperial Gazetteer of 
India, where the dates are given incorrectly, and Rep, Arch , Sur. Ind. xvii, 101, 
and xxi, 109. Cf. Nos. 113 and 530.
