One day a wonderful thing happened, it was witnessed by the people of the town as well as the ruler Rai Bular, They saw that the child Nanak who had accompanied the cattle was asleep in the forest under the tree while the cattle were grazing in the forest. The bright sun covered the face of the sleeping Guru. Instantly a Cobra came out of the trunk of a tree and spread its hood to provide shade over the face of the Guru to protect it from the rays of Sun. The onlookers were wonder struck at this sight. Normally the snakes sting men to death but this deadly cobra had spread its hood to provide shade to the Guru. It could have killed the Guru but had become his slave and servant, the news spread through the town and when the people of the town came to the spot they saw the Cobra disappearing majestically into the trunk of the tree.
