Khivi was born in 1506 to Karan Devi17 and Bhai Devi Chand Khatri.

She lived to the age of 75 and died in the year 1582. Guru Arjun Dev attended her funeral.

Mata Khivi, wife of Guru Angad Dev, is the only lady whose name has been mentioned in Sri Guru Granth Sahib. She has been highly praised in one of the hymns composed by Balwand and entered in Guru Granth Sahib at page 967. It goes like this: buluvu(n)dd kheevee naek jun jis buhuthee shhaao puthraalee || lu(n)gar dhoulath vu(n)ddeeai rus a(n)mrith kheer ghiaalee || (Copied from www. sikhitothemax.com Here ‘th’ stands for s and ‘dh’ stands for d.) Balwand says that Khivi, the Guru's wife, is a noble woman, who gives soothing, leafy shade to all.
