He was especially assigned to keeping record of all receipts and expenditure, in cash as well as in kind. Later Gur&#363 Arjan entrusted to him the general administration of Amritsar, and he induced many people to come and settle in the town. Bh&#257&#299 S&#257lho was among those chosen to accompany the marriage party of (Gur&#363) Hargobind in January 1605. Gur&#363 Arjan once described him as one "matchless in devotion, most dear to me." Bh&#257&#299 S&#257lho lived up to the time of Gur&#363 Hargobind. He died in 1628 and the Gur&#363 personally performed the obsequies. A <i>gurdw&#257r&#257</i>, called Dharams&#257l&#257 Bh&#257&#299 S&#257lho j&#299, in Amritsar, commemorates him. Close by a <i>sam&#257dh</i>, or memorial shrine, marks the spot where his mortal remains were cremated.</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>.
