<p class="C1">&#65279MIRZ&#256 BEG, a Mu<u>gh</u>al official who, in 1696, accompanied Prince Mu'azzam (later Emperor Bah&#257dur Sh&#257h of Delhi), sent by Emperor Aura&#7749gz&#299b to settle affairs in the Punjab. The Prince stationed himself in Lahore and sent Mirz&#257 Beg towards the &#346iv&#257lik hills. Mirz&#257 Beg brought the hill r&#257j&#257s to submission. He, however, became an admirer of Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh whom he came to know through Bh&#257&#299 N&#257nd L&#257l, who was a devoted Sikh and who had come to the Punjab as a member of Prince Mu'azzam's entourage. According  to <i>Bachitra N&#257&#7789ak</i>, Mirz&#257 Beg punished those who had deserted the Gur&#363, whereas those who continued to stay with the Gur&#363 escaped harm.</p>
