GURU NANAK 37
was thus imprisoned in the spell of black magic of Nur
Shah, and could not return to the Guru. Guru Nanak went
to search for his Mardana, and found a lost disciple in Nur
Shah also. She came at last and renounced her magic at the
feet of the Guru. All her slaves were set free, and she
obtained her freedom in the song of Nam.
NANAK AND THE KING OF SANGLADIP
The Master went to the city of King Shivnabh. Shivn~bh
had been pining to see the Master. A disciple Mansukn had
already gone there from Guru Nanak's Punjab, and his
personality had stirred the surrounding country. The whole
royal family, after the King's years of sadness, entered the
path by the kindness of the Master. The mystic words once
uttered by the Master, here, are not fully understoo~ as the
chronicles put them, but they are clear and most significant.
Shivnabh said, :'Sir! What do you eat ?" "I eat of men."
Shivnabh brought a man to him. "No, I eat of the son of the
king, not of a poor man." The king brought his own son.
The family collected together; the Master would verily eat
the prince-such was the wild thought they had of the
Master. The wife ofthe prince was addressed by the Master,
"He is yours, not of the king who gives him to me. Do you
agree to give him up ?" "Yes," said the princess; "with all my
heart if the Master wants him for his service." Nanak closed
his eyes, and all sat together in the sweetest rapture of Nam.
All were there and remained there, but when they opened
their eyes Nanak had gone'! He had "eaten" of the prince;
who was thenceforward a disciple, and not a king.
