There are different views among Sikh historians on her presence during this event. According to Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha in the
Mahan Kosh, Mata Sahib Devan was present during the creation of Khalsa Panth and participated in making Pahul by adding sugar wafers[8] but the
Twarikh Guru Khalsa refutes this claim.[9] The Twarikh states that Guru Gobind Singh's first wife, Mata Jito, put sugar wafers in the Pahul and that Mata Sahib Devan was not married to Guru Gobind Singh at that time.[9] According to Kanwarjit Singh Kang, a fresco that was located in the original Akal Takht depicting a woman appending sugar crystals to Amrit during the Vaisakhi events of 1699 depicts Mata Jito, not Mata Sahib Devan.[10]
