                                   CONTINUATION...                          



They prepared such a magnificent tent that if surpassed the beauty of the king's tent. This woollen tent was so big that even Guru Ji held his great Darbars in that tent.
That tent was presented to Guru on the occasion of Baisakhi in 1680 A.D. The devotees from Kabul, Kandhar, Balkh, Bukhara and Gazni brought many other presents. Most important articles in those gifts were, rugs, carpets, woollen blankets and bed covers.
When hull-chiefs saw that tent, they were much amazed and strayed. They felt small, as the Guru was owner of such a tent, which even surpassed the beauty of king Aurangzeb's tent.
The ruler of Assam state Raja Rattan Raee along with his mother and other ministers reached Anandpur Sahib on the occasion of Diwali. The royal family were honoured to stay in the Kabali tent. Then the presents wewre offered to the Guru.
The Guru was greatly pleased to see the presents. Raja first presented singular weapon, five in one, out of which five types of weapons could be made pistol, sword, lance, dagger and club. Second gift was a wonderful throne from which stepped out puppets to play chess. Third gift was a drinking cup of a precious metal. As a fourth gift out of five beautiful horses with splendid trappings were offered to the Guru. But of all these presents the most wonderful present was a black elephant. This elephant was unique in appearance and was trained to perform various acts of services. He had a white stripe stretching from the tip of trunk along the forehead and back, right upto the end of tail. This elephant waved 'Chaur' over the Guru, he held a jug of water in his trunk and after washing Guru's feet, he wiped them with a towel.
Guru Ji had made up his mind to fight the tyrants with sword. So, he was enlisting the new recruits in his army everyday. Guru Ji realized that without a drum military equipment was incomplete. He called Diwan Nand Chand and ordered him for the construction of Nagarra.
But in those days...
