II Chirhiyon se main baaj turdhaaun, Taabhe GobindSingh Naam Kahaaun Son of Bhai Mani Singh, who himself was a person of a unique character a great 'Panthic scholar cum martyr', Bhai Bachittar Singh, performed a most memorable feat in the second battle of Anand Pur Sahib, that took place in July - August 1699. Guru Gobind Singh as a matter ofstrategy had built Lohgarh fort and was fighting the enemy by placing his forces strategically within the fort and the enemy h::td encircled the fort. The Hill Rajas thought of a plan to get the fort vacated. They planned to bring out an elephant and after intoxicating it to send it to the gate ofthe fort for gate crashing.

But Duni Chand apprehending imminent death slipped away from the battle field by jumping the wall ofthe fort at night. In the next morning there was an all out search for Duni Chand, but there were no traces ofhim anywhere. Now Guru Sahib was looking for an alternative. Bhai Bachitter Singh was spotted for the purpose. He rather offered himself. He was given blessings by Guru Sahib along with a lance and a horse. As the elephant, fully intoxicated, approached the gate, Bhai Bachitter Singh came forward, while riding his horse. The tiger, in the form of'Surma' Bachitter Singh, was in the field. In no time both were facing each other, with both having a killing instinct. As the elephant approached Bachitter Singh and was about to bounce, he with his full force attacked him with his lance 'nagani' and pierced his trunk and made a powerful thrust piercing the plate and injuring the animal in the 170 I The <strong>Sikhism</strong> - <strong>Culture</strong>, History & Religion
