As recorded in Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh's autobiographical poem <i>Bachitra N&#257&#7789ak</i>, J&#299t Mall and his four brothers took a heroic part in the battle of Bha&#7749g&#257&#7751&#299, near P&#257o&#7751&#7789&#257, now in Him&#257chal Pradesh, fought on 18 September 1688. In reverberating verse matching the fierce pace of the battle, Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh describes how the mighty R&#257j&#257 Har&#299 Chand who had kept up a deadly discharge of arrows was challenged by J&#299t Mall and felled with a single thrust of his spear. J&#299t Mall was among two of the five brothers who were killed in the battle.</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1"><li class="C1"><i>Bachitra N&#257&#7789ak</i><BR> <li class="C1"> Kuir Si&#7749gh, <i>Gurbil&#257s P&#257tsh&#257h&#299 10</i>.
