Among the offerings they brought were two pedigree horses of excelling beauty, named Gulb&#257<u>gh</u> and Dilb&#257<u>gh</u>. As they were passing through Lahore, the imperial governor seized the two horses for the royal stable. The <i>masands</i> along with the <i>sa&#7749gat</i> caught up with Gur&#363 Hargobind, then travelling across the M&#257lv&#257 region, at Mahr&#257j and complained about the highhandedness of the Mu<u>gh</u>al authority. Bh&#257&#299 Bidh&#299 Chand retrieved the horses by stratagem. This led to a clash of arms occurring at Mahr&#257j on 16 December 1634.</p> <p class="C1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<i>See</i> BIDH&#298 CHAND, BH&#256&#298</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1"><li class="C1"><i>Gurbil&#257s Chhev&#299&#7749 P&#257tsh&#257h&#299</i>.
