Dates/translation accurate questioned

Dates of birth and meeting make Baba Buddha 18 when he first spoke with Guru Nanak Dev.

Also the Holy Sikh jewels does not seem to be an accurate translation of Sikhan di Bhagat Mala. Perhaps - Sikh Holy Malla (neckless) or Holy Malla of the Sikhs?

This page has blended two versions of the story of Miri and Piri. I have often read that Guru Hargobind asked for a sword, rather than the traditional seli of Guru Nanak. and the story of the accidental hanging by Bhai Buddha, of a sword on the wrong side - explained by Baba Buddha having never used a sword and being unfamiliar with where it went.

Quoteing the page --When the Guru pointed out the mistake, Baba ji wanted to remove it to the other side. The Guru did not permit him to undo a holy act.

Someone wrote me, taking offense to this story, saying that having been around Sikh warriors Baba Buddha would have known where to hang a sword -- and that Miri and Piri was no accident!

This still tells of the accident, of the Guru's asking for a second sword and naming them Miri and Piri, but then it goes on to say that Guru Hargobind was later (that same day?) installed, giving the date, without the accident, with both swords as if the first incident was only practice.

Does anyone have the actual text (the Gurbilas Chhevin Patshahi?) from which this story is told? Did the accident ever happen, were swords something that Sikhs in Guru Arjan's days were carrying? Thanks for any help Allenwalla 06:17, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Bhai sahib ji, Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh
Listening to many Sakhis at the Gurdwara since being a little boy, I have never come across the "accident" version or the "double take" version. Ever time I have heard of this sakhi from gianis, it is that the Guru asked for 2 swords from baba budhaa ji and said that they stood for Miri and Piri. I think we should stick to this and if there is a need, we can say that some authors have stated and then mention the other versions but state that these are not generally supported by the community.
