Bhai Gurdas even included the name of nawab Daulat Khan Lodi, as the devotee of Guru Nanak Dev, but not of Bhai Bala. In the first Var, Bhai Gurdas very briefly gave an account of Guru Nanak Dev's life. While describing the Third missionary Tour of Guru Nanak Dev for visiting Mecca, Madina (sic), Baghdad and other places, Bhai Gurdas states-"Baba went to Baghdad and stayed there at the outskirts of the City.

Bhai Bala is mentioned neither by [[Bhai Gurdas Ji]] who has recorded the names of a number of Sikhs contemporary of Guru Nanak, nor by the authors of [[Puratan Janam Sakhfand Mi'harban Janam Sakhi]], both older than Bala Janam Sakhi, the oldest available manuscript of which is dated 1658. However, owing to the popularity the last named Janam Sakhi has attained and the fact that the 19th century chroniclers such as [[Bhai Santokh Singh]] and [[Giani Gian Singh]] have relied on it more than on any other, the name of Bhai Bala is firmly established in Sikh lore.</div></td></tr>
