<p class="C1">&#65279SHIV DI&#256L, whose ancestors had made their home in Waz&#299r&#257b&#257d, entered the service of Cha&#7771hat Si&#7749gh Sukkarchakk&#299&#257 and was assigned to managing his estates. His father, Kishan Kum&#257r, a follower of Gurba<u>kh</u>sh Si&#7749gh Waz&#299r&#257b&#257d&#299&#257, was the first in the family to have taken up service with the Sikhs. When Ra&#7751j&#299t Si&#7749gh conquered the Dhann&#299 country, he appointed Shiv Di&#257l manager and gave him an estate at N&#363rpur, subject to service. When advanced in years, Shiv Di&#257l introduced his sons Sha&#7749kar D&#257s and Kanhaiy&#257 L&#257l at the Lahore court, himself retiring to Waz&#299r&#257b&#257d.</p>
