MŪLĀ, BHĀĪ, known as Mūlā Kapāhī (kapāh, in Punjabi meaning cotton) owing to his being in the cotton trade, was a resident of Sultānpur Lodhī, now in Kapūrthalā district of the Punjab. He embraced Sikh faith at the hands of Gurū Amar Dās, and lived up to the time of Gurū Arjan, whom he once visited in company with the Sultānpur saṅgat. Bhāī Gurdās describes him, in one of his Vārāṅ (XI.21), as a devotee of the Gurū's word.
