As Gur&#363 Arjan did not have an offspring till he was well past thirty, Karmo rejoiced in the thought that at least after his death her son, Miharb&#257n, would inherit the Gur&#363's seat. But with the birth of Gur&#363 Hargobind in 1595 she grew malevolent and conspired with her husband to have the child killed. All her machinations, however, proved abortive and she continued to be tormented by her jealousy till the end.</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>.
