Phandak

Painting of Bhagat Phandak, from a folio within an illustrated manuscript of the Prem Ambodh Pothi

Phandak (meaning "hunter"), also spelt as Badakh, was an obscure bhagat.[1] The Sambhu Granth, a version of the Guru Granth Sahib observed by H. H. Wilson at Varanasi in 1832, contained hymns attributed to him.[2][3][4][5] According to Louis E. Fenech, Phandak was a Nirgun sant, of which a single hymn attributed to him is found in one recension of the Guru Granth Sahib. He may have been a militant/armed ascetic who resided in the Varanasi region in the 17th–18th centuries. He is not to be confused with the character Jara Phandak from the Mahabharata.[3] However, Pashaura Singh was not able to locate any hymns attributed to Phandak in any extant Guru Granth Sahib manuscript.[3] Himmat Singh, one of the original Panj Piare of Sikhism was believed to be his reincarnation (avtar).[1][3][6]
