Baba Kalu, the father of Guru Nanak, had worldly ambitions for his only son and wished that he should learn how to read and write and one day take his own place as the revenue superintendent of the village. So when Nanak was seven he was led to Gopal, the pdndhd, who felt happy to have with him a pupil so well spoken of in the village. He gave Nanak a place among his other pupils seated in a row reverentially on the ground in front of him. On a wooden slate he wrote down the first few letters of the alphabet of Sidhongdid or Sindhangdid script then in vogue among the commercial class, and gave it to Nanak to learn from.
