<p class="C1">&#65279SI&#7748G&#256R&#362, BH&#256&#298, and his brother Jait&#257, both brave soldiers, received initiation at the hands of Gur&#363 Arjan. The Gur&#363 directed them to be in attendance upon his son, Hargobind. They continued to serve the latter and were happy to see him installed as Gur&#363 in 1606. According to Bh&#257&#299 Santokh Si&#7749gh, <i>Sr&#299 Gur Prat&#257p S&#363raj Granth</i>, they were once on a visit to their native village when they were given by a yog&#299 ash of mercury supposed to turn base metal into gold. They brought it as an offering for Gur&#363 Hargobind. The Gur&#363, however, cast the ash into the pool, saying : "This is mere charlatanry for one who has reduced his ego to ashes. The ash of mercury might transform copper into gold, but the reduction of ego transforms man into God." Bh&#257&#299 Si&#7749g&#257r&#363 and his brother ranked among the prominent Sikhs of the time. They also took part in Gur&#363 Hargobind's battles with the Mu<u>gh</u>al troops.</p>
