Takht Mall, Masand

Takht Mall', a Masand or preacher and the collector in the Nakka region (western part of Lahore district) during the time of Guru Gobind Singh (1666-1708), was so scared when he heard of the Guru sending for some masands and punishing those found guilty of misappropriation of sangat's offerings that he went to the Guru's mother and importuned her to intercede with the Guru on his behalf. Guru Gobind Singh finding him repentant and remorseful pardoned him.
