her stepson, the heir of a monarchy, who, however, would not gratify her desires, whereupon she represented to her husband that his first-born had made attempts upon her honour. The Raja ordered his son to be put to death; but his ministers interfered, and procured a respite. They then enlarged in a series of stories upon the nature of women, and at length the Raja became sensible of the guilt of his wife's mind, and of his own rashness. These stories occupy 446 pages, or nearly half of the Granth. The name of Sham also occurs as the writer of one or more of them.
The 'Hikayats', or Tales. These comprise 16th. twelve stories in 866 sloks of two lines each. They are \yritten in the Persian language and Gurmukhi character, and they were composed by Gobind himself as admonitory of Aurangzeb, and were sent to the emperor by the hands of Daya Singh and four other Sikhs.
The tales were accompanied by a letter written in a pointed manner, which, however, does not form a portion of the Granth.
These
tales
occupy about 30 pages, and conclude
the Granth of Guru Gobind.
