DARGAHA, BHAI, a Bhandari Khatri, figures in Bhai Gurdas`s roster of prominent Sikhs of Guru Hargobind`s time, Varan, XI.28. According to Bhai Mani Singh, Sikhan di Bhagat Mala, Bhai Dargaha once complained to the Guru that some Sikhs when interpreting gurbanife into polemic. Guru Hargobind said that while reasoning with a view to removing doubts and gaining or disseminating true knowledge was beneficial, Sikhs must shun pedantry born of haumai or pride.
DHILLI MANDAL, BHAI, was a devoted Sikh of the time of Guru Arjan. Once, as says Bhai Mani Singh, Sikhan di Bhagat Mala, he reported to the Guru that he had come across verses using the pseudonym Nanak, but which did not seem genuine at all. Guru Arjan, continues Bhai Mani Singh, undertook thereupon the task of preparing an authorized volume sifting the genuine from the counterfeit. Thus emerged the Holy Granth which was installed in the Harimandar at Amritsar in 1604. See GOPI MAHITA, BHAI
