Statement 2 is correct: They are guided by 29 principles given by Jambaji. The 29 rules laid down by the founder, are what gives the community its name- bish (20), noi (9).

The other rulers were about social behaviour and personal hygiene. Statement 3 is correct: Jambaji’s teachings are preserved in the form of 120 statements known as sabdas.
