<p class="C1">&#65279ROSHAN SI&#7748GH, Sikh warrior in attendance upon Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh, who once killed  a lion single handed. During their journey to the Deccan in 1708, records Kuir Si&#7749gh, <i>Gurbil&#257s P&#257tsh&#257h&#299  10</i>, Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh and Emperor Bah&#257dur Sh&#257h were out together on an hunting excursion when they suddenly found themselves face to face with a lion. Bah&#257dur Sh&#257h dared his men to kill the beast without the use of a firearm or bow and arrow. Two of his soldiers tried one after the other, but were killed  by the lion. Then Roshan Si&#7749gh from among Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh's followers came forward holding a sword and a shield of animal hide. As the lion came charging at him, Roshan Si&#7749gh, says Kuir Si&#7749gh, knelt down and took the animal's paws on his shield, slashing its belly with a swift stroke of his sword. Everyone applauded  Roshan Si&#7749gh's feat. The Gur&#363 rewarded him with his blessing, for he would not accept any worldly prize.</p>
