Br&#257hma&#7751 by birth, Si&#7749gh&#257 was the family priest of the So&#7693h&#299s. He converted to Sikhism and became a skilled warrior. Likewise, his son, J&#257t&#299 Mall, practised the manly arts and took part in all the battles fought by Gur&#363 Hargobind. Among his troop commanders, he ranked next only to Bh&#257&#299 Bidh&#299 Chand and R&#257i Jodh. He is said to have trained Gur&#363 Te<u>gh</u> Bah&#257dur in his boyhood in the use of arms. In the battles of Mehr&#257j in December 1634, J&#257t&#299 Mall was wounded in the chest by an arrow-shot, but made a quick recovery. He died at K&#299ratpur in 1642. His son, D&#257y&#257 R&#257m, remained in the service of the Gur&#363s and fought valiantly in the battle of Bha&#7749g&#257&#7751&#299 in 1688.</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1"><li class="C1"><i>Gurbil&#257s P&#257tsh&#257h&#299 Chhev&#299&#7749</i>.
