<p class="C1">&#65279D&#298P&#256, BH&#256&#298, was a devoted Sikh of Gur&#363 Arjan's time (Bh&#257&#299 Gurd&#257s, <i>V&#257r&#257&#7749</i>, XI. 22). He zealously served in the Gur&#363 k&#257 La&#7749gar. He cooked food and served it to visiting Sikhs. He took the last turn and ate what was left over. He washed with warm water the feet of those who came from afar and kneaded their limbs to relieve them of fatigue. On cold winter nights he went round adjusting the quilts and coverlets of sleeping visitors. Upon his lips were always the Gur&#363's hymns. According to Bh&#257&#299 Man&#299 Si&#7749gh, <i>Sikh&#257&#7749 d&#299 Bhagat M&#257l&#257</i>, Gur&#363 Arjan pleased with his devotion, once said, "D&#299p&#257 is a <i>d&#299pak</i>, i. e. a lamp. As one lamp flame lights another, so would Bh&#257&#299 D&#299p&#257, having received true knowledge, diffuse it among those who come in contact with him. " Bh&#257&#299 D&#299p&#257 was appointed a <i>masand</i>, or area leader to spread the Gur&#363's message.</p>
