He once led a <i>sa&#7749gat</i> of those parts to the presence of Gur&#363 Hargobind. Travelling through Lahore, Amritsar and Kha&#7693&#363r, they reached K&#257&#7749ga&#7771, now in Ba&#7789hi&#7751&#7693&#257 district of the Punjab, where the Gur&#363 then happened to be. T&#257r&#257 Chand was asked by the Gur&#363 to relate his experiences of the long journey. While doing so, Bh&#257&#299 T&#257r&#257 Chand especially praised two horses he had seen at Lahore in a royal procession. He had been so fascinated by them that he had even enquired their names and quoted these to the Gur&#363 as Dilb&#257<u>gh</u> and Gulb&#257<u>gh</u>. These beauties, he said, deserved to be in the Gur&#363's stables. The horses had, as the tradition goes, been in fact brought for presentation to Gur&#363 Hargobind by a Sikh horse dealer, Karo&#7771&#299 by name, but had been seized on the way by the governor of Lahore. Bh&#257&#299 Bidh&#299 Chand, a daring Sikh, later recovered the animals.</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>.
