Karori Mal or Duni Chand?

Karori Mal the Governor of Kalanaur [about 14 Km from Kartarpur] cultivated jealousy against the Guru Nanak as many Hindu Jogis and Muslims were converting to Sikhism. He set out to arrest the Guru but when he was to ride the horse he fell on the ground, his turban rolling down to the feet of people around. On his second attempt; tradition has it that he became blind and ultimately fell at the feet of the Guru and apologised for his past ill will. The Guru blessed him notwithstanding and he became a devote Sikh of Guru and donated 100 acres of land on the bank of river Ravi where Guru founded Kartarpur.
