Mussulman bhi na
Panj tutt ka pûthlâ
“Nanak” mera nâm.
Which translated will read,
If I say I am a Hindu you will kill me straight,
Though Mahomedan I cannot call myself;
I am rather a personation of the Five elements,
And my name is “Nanak.”
Another anecdote is given, viz., that when he visited the Chenāab on his way to Mūltān, he very much enraged some “Jogis,” a description of recluse penitents, who by means of mental and corporeal mortifications acquire the command over the powers of nature, as stated in previous notes.
These men did all they could by their powers of enchantments to terrify him. They assumed the shape of wild beasts and snakes, fell from Heaven in a shower of fire, and tore away the stars.
