⁵⁹ While Gurū Nānak was residing at Amīnābād (now venerated under the name of Rori-Sahab in the district of Gujaranwala), Bābur's invasion of India took place. Amīnābād was stormed and Nānak was carried to the Emperor's presence. Bābur was struck by his appearance, and still more by his words, and held a long conversation with him. It is narrated that while the Gurū was talking with the Emperor the servants brought *bhang*. Bābur offered some to the Gurū, who declined, stating that he had a supply which never failed him, and of which the effects were never exhausted. "Upon being asked to explain, he replied that he alluded to the name of God, the consideration of which occupied his faculties." The Emperor ordered his release.
