MĀṆIK, BHĀĪ, of village Maddar in present-day Sheikhūpurā district of Pakistan, received initiation as a Sikh at the hands of Gurū Amar Dās. When Gurū Hargobind visited this village on his way back from Kashmīr in 1620, Māṇik served him with devotion and narrated to him the story of Bhāī Kidārā, whom Gurū Arjan had favoured with the gift of a walking stick.
