"Placing his [Gur&#363 Hargobind's] body on firewood, as they," says Zulfiq&#257r Ardast&#257n&#299, a contemporary chronicler who had met the Gur&#363 at K&#299ratpur only a few months earlier, "set it alight and as the flames rose high, a Rajp&#363t named R&#257j&#257 R&#257m, who was his servant, flung himself into the fire. He walked a few paces on the fire till he conveyed himself to the feet of the Gur&#363. He placed his face on the soles of his [Gur&#363's] feet and did not move till he gave away his life...
