<p class="C1">&#65279JALL&#256, PA&#7750&#7692IT (d. 1844), a Br&#257hma&#7751 priest of Jamm&#363, who, assigned tutor to H&#299r&#257 Si&#7749gh &#7692ogr&#257 when he was a small boy, remained his lifelong companion and became his adviser and deputy as he assumed the office of prime minister of the Sikh kingdom in September 1843. Jall&#257 completely dominated over the young minister and the power he enjoyed made him very arrogant. He began to treat the Sikh nobility in an overbearing manner. A man of peevish disposition, the upstart Jall&#257 soon came to be disliked by everyone. To quote in English translation a doggerel which became current, "There is God above and Jall&#257 below; and may He smack Jall&#257 on the head with a shoe." Matters came to a crisis when Jall&#257 began confiscating the <i>j&#257g&#299rs</i> of the Sikh <i>sard&#257rs</i> and criticizing openly Mah&#257r&#257&#7751&#299 Jind Kaur. Jall&#257 was killed by the excited Sikh soldiery led by Jaw&#257har Si&#7749gh, the Mah&#257r&#257&#7751&#299's brother, on 21 December 1844, while attempting to flee Lahore along with his patron R&#257j&#257 H&#299r&#257 Si&#7749gh.</p>
