35 boiled with rage, and he returned with this answer
36 to his,master." The Sikh writers, in relating the
37 fall of this brave man at Chunkowah, thus describe
38 his death.—" Some fought, some fled, Ajeet Singh
39 covered with glory departed to Swarga (Heaven.)
40 Indra, first of the gods, (Devatus) advanced with
41 the celestial host to meet him; he conducted him
42 to Devapur, the city of the gods, and seated him
43 on a celestial throne; having‘remained there a
44 short time, he proceeded to the region of the sun.”
45 Thus Ajeet Singh departed in glory, and his
46 fame extends o ver three worlds, for the fame of
47 the warrior lives for ever ."—Malcolm.
48 Many instances are given of the personal bravery
49 of Govind Singh during the siege of Mukhowal.
50 He killed with his own hand Nahar Khan, and
51 wounded I£ivajeh Muhammud, leaders of the
52 Emperor’s troops. The Gooroo describes his war
53 with Bhcem Chund in the true Ossianic style.
54 The .warriors .advanced like a stream of fire con ¬
55 suming the forest.”— Malcolm.
56 Some relate that Govind Singh died in the
57 Punjab; others that he went to Patna, and ended
58 his days there ; but the true account appears to be
59 that he died, as already vela ted, in the Dekbam.
60 Aware that since the death of his brave sons there
61 was. none among his adherents capable of follow¬
62 ing up his views and conquests., he fixed upon a
63 Byrag.ee fukeer, named Bunda, who became his
64 successor, though, not as Gooroo. That title died
65 with Govind Singh, the tenth and last.
