<p class="C1">&#65279MADAN N&#256TH, head of a band of Kanpha&#7789&#257 yog&#299s, called on Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh as he was visiting Th&#257nesar in 1702. As says Bh&#257&#299 Santokh Si&#7749gh, <i>Sr&#299 Gur Prat&#257p S&#363raj Granth</i>, the yog&#299 was surprised to see Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh in a warrior's dress and gave expression to his misgiving. Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh explained that he had formed the <u>Kh</u>&#257ls&#257 and given them this form in face of the religious intolerance of the ruling class, the Mu<u>gh</u>als.</p>
