BHULLA, BHAI, and Bhai Kulla, both Jhanjhi Sunars, accompanied by Bhagirath, a Soini Khatri, presented themselves before Guru Arjan and begged to be instructed in the pious way.

The Guru, according to Sikhan di Bhagat Mala, explained: "Gurmukhs are those who, turning their back on ego, heed the Guru`s word, who do not forget a good turn done to them but always forget anything done by themselves for the good of others.
