v1.c6.s17.2

∗ J. D. Cunningham, 81, says he was born in Poh, 1718 S. (November 1661); Muin-ud-din, Buta Shah, on the authority of one Shankar Jyotishi, has Sunday, Magh 13th, 1718 S. (January or February 1662). Again, in the Sakhi Book, 37, it is given as a prophecy that Govind would die at the age of forty-three years. Assuming, as we may safely do, that such a prophecy was made after the event, a belief is raised that Govind may have been born in 1666 A.D., his death having taken place in 1708. This would in a great measure dispose of the discrepancy in Dr. Trumpp's chronology (Adi Granth, introduction, lxxxviii and lxxxix).
