CHITRA SAIN, a devotee of Guru Hargobind, came to Kartarpur on the Baisakhi day to pay obeisance to the Guru. He had come to present, as he had pledged in fulfilment of a wish, the Guru with a horse, white hawk and the robes. The Guru felt pleased with Chitra Sain, as says Gurbilas Patshahi Chhevin, and blessed him. Of these gifts, the Guru gave the hawk to Baba Gurditta and the robes to Painda Khan, a devotee of the Guru and a commander in his army, asking him to wear this dress while coming to the Guru`s presence.
