As Said Beg saw Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh majestically ride his steel-blue steed, he felt deeply moved. He left his army and crossed over to the Gur&#363's side. Alif <u>Kh</u>&#257n, surprised and dispirited by Said Beg's action, also withdrew from the contest. Said Beg remained with Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh and fell fighting for him when another imperial force under General Said <u>Kh</u>&#257n attacked Anandpur jointly with the hill r&#257j&#257s in February 1703.</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1"><li class="C1"> Santokh Si&#7749gh, Bh&#257&#299, <i>Sr&#299 Gur Prat&#257p S&#363raj Granth</i>.
