Nánac left children in the Penj-ab,[446] they are called _Kartaris_; but according to the opinion of some, he had no offspring. They say that, after Nánac’s decease, his place was by his order occupied by the Guru _Angad_, of the Srín tribe of Kshatriyas; next succeeded the Guru _Amaradas_, of the tribe of the Bholáyí-Kshatriyas; after him came the Guru _Ráma-das_, who was of the Sódahí-Kshatriyas, and also called the Srí-guru. Ráma-das, dying, left his dignity to his son _Arjunmal_. During the life of this Guru, the Sikhs, that is to say, his followers grew great in number and in faith. They said, Bábá Nânac is a god, and the world his creation; but Nánac in his poems reckons himself a servant of God, and he calls God _Naránjen_ (Naráyana), _Parabrahma_, and _Permaisher_ (Paramésvara), who is without a body, and has nothing corporeal, nor deigns to be united with a bodily frame. The Sikhs say that Nánac, in the same manner, had been without a real body, but visible by the power of his individuality,[447] and they believe that, when Nânac expired,[448] his spirit became incarnate in the person of _Angad_,[449] who attended him as his confidential servant. Angad, at his death, transmitted his soul into the body of _Amara das_;[450] and thus Guru, in the same manner, conveyed his spirit into the body of _Ráma-das_;[451] whose soul transmigrated into the person of _Arjunmal_;[452] in short, they believe that, with a mere change of name, Nânac the First became Nânac the Second, and so on, to the Fifth, in the person of Arjunmal. They say, that whoever does not recognise in Arjunmal the true Bábá Nânac, is an unbeliever; they have a number of tales about the founder of their sect, and assert that Bábá Nânac, in a former world, was the radja Janak.[453]
