<p class="C1">&#65279DAULT&#256&#7748, a Muslim midwife of the village of Talva&#7751&#7693&#299 R&#257i Bhoi, who attended the birth of B&#257b&#257 K&#257l&#363's son who became renowned as Gur&#363 N&#257nak. As the birth of a male child was announced, B&#257b&#257 K&#257l&#363 requested the family Pa&#7751&#7693it, Hardi&#257l, to cast the child's horoscope. As Hardi&#257l worked out the stellar configuration, he was, says <i>B&#257l&#257 Janam S&#257kh&#299</i>, much impressed and wished to know if the midwife had not seen any signs. Dault&#257&#7749, who was sent for to speak with him, said that there were many children born under her care, but none so extraordinary as K&#257l&#363's son. She described his first cry as the laughter of a grown up person and expressed her amazement at the portents she had witnessed.</p>
