6 The peaceful tenets inculated by Nan.uk form
7 a pleasing contrast to the present warlike and
8 quarrelsome habits of the Sikhs; but the cause
9 of tins change will be manifested in the sequel.
10 Towards the latter part of his life, Nanuk dwelt
11 on the banks of the Jtavee, and established his ofthe Eavee -
12 family thefe. He had two sons: the one named
13 Luchmee Doss, and the other Sree Chund; the
14 former became a man of the world. He had two
15 sons, whose decendants remain at the present day.
16 Sree Chund was a fukeer, and- from him are
17 descended the Oodasee fukeers.
18 Some say that Nanuk had an. uncle named
19 Lalloo, whose son was called Luchmee .Doss.
20 Lalioo had a great esteem for Nanuk, calling
21 him his son, and Luchmee Nanuk’s servant.
22 Nanuk formed a very strong attachment to
23 Luchmee, saying they had the same body and
24 soul, and there was no difference betwixt them.
25 On this account the descendants of Luchmee
26 Doss were considered the same as those of
27 Nanuk, and it is said that Nanuk had in reality,
28 no descendants. Those of Sree Chund are
29 named Nanuk Pootras, or children of Nanuk.
30 Boodha, one of Nanuk’s followers, lived to a great
31 age: his story is curious.
