Guru Nanak Dev Ji and Bhai Mardana Ji come across another long fish-like whale while crossing the ocean and walk up to his head - as its body is many kilometers long. The whale explained during the time of Raja Janak in Treta Jug, he did lots of solo penance and would submerge himself in water. Raja Janak told him to go to sangat and do selfless service, as this is the greatest penance that will give you spiritual wisdom. But he refused to listen to the Raja and said he wants to do penance in water for 1 more year. Raja Janak told him then he can be like a fish in the water.

"Sri Nanak Prakash is a detailed historical account of the life of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. It was written by Mahakavi (great poet) Bhai Santokh Singh Ji in 1824 (AD), and represents one of the most comprehensive and beautifully written accounts of Guru Ji’s life. It is usually associated as a part of the greater text known as Sri Gurpartap Suraj Granth (aka Suraj Prakash) which details the historical accounts of all 10 Guru Sahibs in poetic form. It is an ocean of bliss, knowledge and experience. It is said that if one listen to the history of the lives of all 10 Gurus through these texts with complete devotion and faith, they can reach enlightenment.
