SABHAGA, BHAI

SABHAGA, BHAI, Guru Hargobind`s devoted disciple who plied a prosperous trade in the western parts. He once arrived with an offering of five well bred and costly horses. Guru Hargobind, then at Ruhela, the scene of one of the armed engagements of his time, was pleased with the gift. He selected one for himself and distributed three immediately, one each to Baba Gurditta, Painda Khan and Bhai Bidhi Chand. The fifth horse, retained in the stable, was later bestowed upon Bhai Gupala as a reward for correctly reciting the Japu.
