Kahna was a
Vaishnavite saint living in
Lahore. Kanha was a
yogi following the path of knowledge (
gyan marag), claiming to have lived for 500-years. However, Sikh sources claim he was
egotistical. According to the
Gurbilases, Kanha Bhagat, alongside
Chajju Bhagat,
Pilu, and
Shah Hussain met with Guru Arjan to discuss the possibility of the guru including their works in the scripture he was composing. According to Sikh sources, Kanha arrived in a chariot whilst the others arrived by-foot. Hymns authored by Kahna were included in the
padas of
Surdas. == References ==
