Nanak died in 1539, and Ke was succeeded by the Angad of his choice, a Kshattriya of the Tihan subdivision of the race, who himself died in 1552, at Kadur, near Goindwal, on the Beas river. Little is relat-ed of his ministry, except that he committed to writing much of what he had heard about Nanak from the Guru's ancient companion, Bala Sindhu, as well as some devotional observations of his own, which were afterwards incorporated in the Granth. But Angad was true to
the principles of his great teacher, and, not deeming either of his own sons worthy to succeed him, he bestowed his apostolic blessing upon Amar Das, an assiduous follower.^
Amar Das succeeds.
Separates the Sikhs from the Udasis.
Amar Das was likewise a Kshattriya, but of the Bhalla subdivision. He was active in preaching, and successful in obtaining converts, and it is said that he found an attentive listener in the tolerant Akbar. The immediate followers of Sri Chand, the son of Nanak, had hitherto been regarded as almost equally the disciples of the first teacher with the direct adherents of Angad; but Amar Das declared passive and recluse 'Udasis' to be wholly separate from active and domestic 'Sikhs', and thus finally preserved the infant church Angad was born, according to most accounts, in 1561 Sambat, ®r a. d. 1504, but according to others in 1567 (or A. D. 1510). His death is usually placed in 1609 Sambat (a.d. 1552), but sometimes it is dated a year earlier, and the Sikh accounts affect a precision as to days and months which can never gain credence. Foster (Travels, i. 296) gives 1542, perhaps a misprint for 1552, as the period of his death. 1
