[6] After being passed over for the Sikh guruship and being disowned by his father,[6] Prithi Chand established his own spiritual seat in Kotha Guru (about 35 kilometers northeast of Bathinda).

[6] Prithia selected Heir as his sect's base as it was strategically located on the road connecting the cities of Amritsar and Lahore and it was also where his wife's family resided.

[6] Through these efforts, the Minas managed to win-over two rababis with the promise of monetary rewards, namely Balvand and Satta, who were previously employed in the court of Guru Arjan.

[6] Eventually, Bhai Luddha of Lahore managed to convince Balvand and Satta to return to the employment of Guru Arjan.

His spiritual discourses used teachings of Sikh gurus but were aimed to attract his own following and the official support of the Mughal Empire.

[6] His son Manohar Das, popularly known as Meharban, was attached to both his father Prithi Chand and his uncle Guru Arjan.

[6] He was also a literary talent and a "luminary among medieval Sikh and Panjabi litterateurs" states Syan, and he composed hymns under the pen name of Prithi Chand.

[12] According to the literature of the Miharvan Sikhs, the pothi was given to Prithi Chand by Guru Arjan and this was in part the reason they claimed authenticity of their hymns and movement.

[6] The wars of Guru Gobind Singh against the Muslim commanders and the rise of the Khalsa brotherhood ultimately ended the control of Amritsar by the followers of Prithi Chand.

[5] According to Gurinder Singh Mann, the Sodhis of Guru Harsahai (35 kilometers west of Faridkot) and of Malwa region are the descendants of the Prithi Chand and Miharvan movement.
