Prith&#299 Chand, eldest of three brothers, had founded a new village, Ko&#7789h&#257 Gur&#363, in the M&#257lv&#257 region, where he invited Sulah&#299 <u>Kh</u>&#257n to visit him. Sulah&#299 <u>Kh</u>&#257n came, and the two of them hatched a plot aiming to finish up the Gur&#363. As Prith&#299 Chand was taking Sulah&#299 <u>Kh</u>&#257n around the kilns he had set up to bake bricks for the new mansions, the latter's horse suddenly frisked and mounted one of the kilns, where the loose earth gave way and, before Prith&#299 Chand could even think of rescuing him, Sulah&#299 <u>Kh</u>&#257n had been engulfed in the fire and burnt to death ---an unholy end according to Muslim belief. There are verses by Gur&#363 Arjan in the Gur&#363 Granth S&#257hib alluding to Sulah&#299 <u>Kh</u>&#257n getting his deserts.</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1"><li class="C1"><i>Gurbil&#257s P&#257tsh&#257h&#299 Chhev&#299&#7749</i>.
