<p class="C1">&#65279&#256LAM SI&#7748GH NACHN&#256 (d. 1705), a warrior in the retinue of Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh, was the son of Bh&#257&#299 Durg&#363, a R&#257jp&#363t Sikh of Si&#257lko&#7789. He earned the popular epithet Nachn&#257 (lit. dancer) because of his uncommon agility. Sar&#363p D&#257s Bhall&#257, <i>Mahim&#257 Prak&#257sh</i>, describes him as one of Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh's constant companions. Possessing pluck as well as skill, he once killed a tiger single-handed. On another occasion when during the chase Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh was suddenly attacked by two hill chiefs, Bal&#299&#257 Chand and &#256lam Chand, with a force far outnumbering his own, &#256lam Si&#7749gh Nachn&#257 showed exemplary courage. In a face to face encounter with &#256lam Chand, he slashed the latter's sword arm. He took part in almost all the battles fought around Anandpur. As Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh himself testifies in his <i>Bachitra N&#257&#7789ak</i>, when <u>Kh</u>&#257nz&#257d&#257, the son of Dil&#257war <u>Kh</u>&#257n, S&#363bahd&#257r of Lahore, tried to storm Anandpur at night, it was &#256lam Si&#7749gh's vigilance which alerted the Sikhs and forced the <u>Kh</u>&#257nz&#257d&#257 to retire without attempting the assault. During the final siege of Anandpur, &#256lam Si&#7749gh was given the command of a 500 strong garrison in Agampur Fort; on the evacuation of the town, he along with Bh&#257&#299 Day&#257 Si&#7749gh and Bh&#257&#299 Ude Si&#7749gh led the vanguard. At Chamkaur on 7 December 1705, &#256lam Si&#7749gh Nachn&#257 joined the sally made by S&#257hibz&#257d&#257 Aj&#299t Si&#7749gh and fell fighting the besieging host.</p>਍㰀⼀昀漀渀琀㸀ഀഀ
