Guru Nanak. It is significant that in the Bhagat Ratnavali. which contains a list of Guru Nanak's companions and disciples, there is no mention of Bala Sandhu.
V. Mahima Prak.as by Sarup Das (compiled in 1776)
VI. Nanak Prak.as by Santokh Singh This work was written in AD 1823, is based on the janamsakhi ascribed to Bala Sandhu, and suffers from the same disqualifications.
VII. Dabistan by Muhsin Fam The author was a contemporary of the sixth Guru, Hargobind. The work contains very scanty references to Guru Nanak and even these are more in the nature of praise than a narration of facts. It is not known who Muhsin Fani was.
VIIl. Relics From two far separated comers of the earth, tablets have been unearthed which confirm Sikh tradition of Guru Nanak's travels. In 1915, a Sikh scholar, Gurbaksh Singh, discovered traces of old Sikh temples in Dacca (now capital of Bangladesh) and Chittagong, where tablets mentioned the stay of the first and ninth Gurus. (See Dacca Reui.ew, pp. 224-32 of October and November 1915; pp. 316-22 of January 1916, and pp. 375--78 of February and March 1916.) In 1916, Sikh soldiers discovered a tablet in Baghdad commemorating Nanak's stay in the city. The former conclusively proves Nanak's stay in the city. The latter goes further and fixes the dates of his western pilgrimage.

But soon after the deaths of
