 When Guru Gobind Singh, along with his Sikhs, was collecting the dead bodies for cremation, he found one man, named Mahan Singh, still clinging to life.On seeing the Guru, he made an effort to rise; the Guru at once took him in his embrace, and sat down with him.Mahan Singh, tearful and exhausted, requested the guru to destroy the document disclaiming his being a Sikh of the Guru.
