| '''Tale of King of Sirmaur''' is one of 405 tales written in [[Charitropakhyan]], bani by Shri [[Guru Gobind Singh]]. This is the Seventy First (71st) Charittar of Charitropakhyan. This tale is presumably from guru's own life. It is set around the time when guru sahib was in [[Paunta Sahib]]. The events in the tale includes Guru Sahib visit to Kapal Mochan, hunting, punishing the manmukhs and arrangement of robes for honouring sikhs. The Chariter shows political, warrior life of Guru Gobind Singh.

| |
| The chariter mentions, that guru sahib went to [[Kapal Mochan]], many Sikhs arrived to meet guru sahib. Guru Sahib wanted to give [[Siropa|robes of honour]], as this was a ritual followed, and still follow all over. Guru ji sent some of his sikhs to paunta to bring robes but they came in vein as no robes were available in city in any shop.
| |
| | |
| Some dolt and ignorant people use to urinate on the pious place of paunta. They spoil the sanctity of place. Guru Sahib wanted to teach them a lesson so he planned with his [[Sikh]]s that if they would find any person urinating on the pious place, remove his turban and punish him. Sikhs did as guru sahib said. The turbans of those persons were removed who urinated at that place and were punished so that they would not do the same in future and they collected many turbans, which shows the counting of ignorant people. This tale is to kill two with one arrow. Guru sahib, where brought ignorant on right track, there he got robes for honouring sikhs. so after washing and cleaning those turbans, sikhs were honoured.
| |
| | |
| Many Scholars criticize this chariter, that guru sahib could not do this. how can he remove turban from any urinating man but they do not understand the last line of guru sahib, ਭੇਦ ਮੂਰਖਨ ਨ ਲਹਿਯੋ ਕਹਾ ਗਯੋ ਕਰਿ ਰਾਇ , that all this game was played for sanctity of place and for arranging the robes this tale also shows that guru sahib was politically strong too.
