Prithi Chand (eldest) was jealous of Guru Arjan Dev Ji because their father (Guru Ram Das Ji) did not pass the Guruship to either him or his younger brother Bhai Maha Dev Ji but to the youngest of the 3.  Even though Prithi Chand tries to convey his negativity to the baadhshah: Jahangir, Wazir Khan pointed out that Guru Sahib only received the Guruship because all three brothers were analysed and who was best fit for the responsibility was chosen upon which Jahangir concluded that the decision has been made clearly and so you have no right to complain now after Guru Ram Das Ji. Prithi Chand (who later died upon eating rice and falling ill, being not able to find a doctor, suffered to death) felt, the only way he could receive some revenge was through fixing Guru Sahib in to some fake trap of lies or somehow have them captured in prison and tortured (to martyrdom). Guru Sahib then rejected the marriage proposal of Chandhu upon the request of their Sikh from Delhi who was Chandu’s guardsman.

Chandu (full of anger and jealousy who used to have money given to him even from his lowest workers for any sort of request to be made; yet being Jahangir’s president) said to his middle man (Prohath), their son (Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji) is tall and handsome but you have not done good, this roof’s brick (high placed), you have attached to the  gutter (low place) and plus, the Sikhs that come to the house of Guru Nanak Dev Ji they are poor and only donate little money and who knows, what if the numbers decrease tomorrow, who will feed my daughter?

When the sangat found out about these remarks they were not pleased at all and the marriage ceremonies were just about to go ahead, the visitors had arrived, everything was set up as would be for a wedding when a message was brought from Delhi via a Sikh which was the request from the entire congregation to Guru Sahib to advise them that this marriage should not go any further. One imbued soul from the congregation stood and shouted out that they knew of the message which shocked the entire congregation and brought everything to a massive stand still. After reading the letter, Guru Sahib announced that the wedding will not go ahead. Proath who had brought so much gifts, silver, gold, food, money and clothes (sent with ego from Chandu) was gobsmacked. Guru Sahib pointed out at the insult made to their Sikhs and stated: “If even one dwells in a broken-down shack, in tattered clothes, with no social status, no honour and no respect; he wanders in the wilderness, with no friend or lover, without wealth, beauty, relatives or relations. Even so, he is the king of the whole world, if his mind is imbued with the Lord's Name”. Chandu had no clue of the amount of saint in this congregation. Prohath (knowing of their missed opportunity) was told to go back, Guru Sahib said; Guru Nanak Dev Ji is the king of the worlds. Guru Sahib announced to the sangat that they wanted another ONE marriage proposal from a humble being, upon hearing, 3 shot up at the same time, even though Guru Sahib insisted that they had asked for one, 3 marriages id not maryada. All three all started trying to persuade and all the sangat’s voice became one who were also insisting on the go ahead of all 3.  After much silence, Guru Sahib stated that it is the will of god, all three proposals are accepted. (The displays the importance and high status of sangat).
