A Mughal general, in company with another general, Alif Khan, was
marching at the head of an army on his way from Lahore to Delhi when
the Rajput hill rulers led by Raja Ajmer Chand of Bilaspur persuaded
him to join them in an attack on Guru Gobind Singh, who, according
to Bhai Santokh Singh, Sri Gur Pratap Suraj Granth, was then camping
at Chamkaur on his way back from Kurukshetra. As Said Beg saw Guru
Gobind Singh majestically ride his steel-blue steed, he felt deeply
moved. He left his army and crossed over to the Guru's side. Alif
Khan, surprised and dispirited by Said Beg's action, also withdrew
from the contest. Said Beg remained with Guru Gobind Singh and fell
fighting for him when another imperial force under General Said Khan
attacked Anandpur jointly with the hill rajas in February 1703. |
