DAULTAN, a Muslim midwife of the village of Talvandi Rai Bhoi, who attended the birth of Baba Kalu`s son who became renowned as Guru Nanak. As the birth of a male child was announced, Baba Kalu requested the family Pandit, Hardial, to cast the child`s horoscope. As Hardial worked out the stellar configuration, he was, says Bala Janam Sakhi, much impressed and wished to know if the midwife had not seen any signs. Daultari, who was sent for to speak with him, said that there were many children born under her care, but none so extraordinary as Kalu`s son. She described his first cry as the laughter of a grownup person and expressed her amazement at the portents she had witnessed.
