aakhe nanak shah sach,suno bahavad pir.
aval khud khudaye si,phir dooji kar tadbir.
kar tadhiran manaih vich, char malaye keen.
badi aabi aatshi, chouthi milli zamin.
char khasiat char bed, charai nal imam.
punjam bhaya paikambro, aadam hazrat Jan.
bad malayik, khak but, aakhi jinda pir.
aatish noor khudai te, jano kar tadbir.
punjam aap khudai hai, andar bahar soye.
eh hakikat pir ji, virla janai koye.
aabi khakki bad naar, charon rukan pachhan.
char iman char muzhaba, char kateba Jan.

Those readers, who have read this Chapter with rapt attention,
will be fully convinced of the conclusion drawn up by us. It is apparent
that in the old hand written copies of the Holy Book, extraneous
fake compositions in the name of Guru Nanak, were included at the
end of each copy. The entire responsibility for this mischief lies on
the shoulders of those, who wrote Bhai Bala’s Janamsakhi, which
was in fact written after 1750 Bikrami (1693 A.D), but made much
noise of having been written in 1596 Bikrami (1539 A.D) - the year
of Guru Nanak Dev’s demise. In this Janamsakhi, they insulted
Guru Nanak Dev to the greatest possible extent they could, and
greatly exalted Baba Handal.
Did these mischievous persons do similar mischief in any other
book also? To consider this question, we shall examine the “Puratan
Janamsakhi” in Chapter 13, in its depth. We shall come to know
more about the persons, who incorporated spurious compositions in
the name of Guru Nanak Dev in the copies of the Holy Book.
However, in the first instance, in Chapter 12, we shall remove the
existing misconception about the Ode of Satta and Balwand.
