The <i>Ja&#7749gn&#257m&#257</i> is an account in verse of a battle on the banks of the River Sutlej in which an attack from the imperial troops was countered and repulsed by Sikhs under the personal command of Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh. No date is given of the event, but a reference in the text to "<u>Kh</u>&#257ls&#257, " inaugurated in 1699, and other details indicate that it was one of the last battles of Anandpur. A manuscript of the work is preserved in the private collection of the Mah&#257r&#257j&#257 of Pa&#7789i&#257l&#257. The poem has been included by the Shiroma&#7751&#299 Gurdw&#257r&#257 Parbandhak Committee in the collection <i>Pr&#257ch&#299n V&#257r&#257&#7749 te Ja&#7749gn&#257me</i>, and by Bh&#257sh&#257 Vibh&#257g, Punjab, in <i>Pañch Nad</i>. The poet has tried several prosodic measures in the 70-stanza poem. The language used is <i>bh&#257kh&#257</i>, or contemporary Hindi, except in the <i>pau&#7771&#299s</i> which are in chaste Punjabi.</p> </font> <p class="BIB"> BIBLIOGRAPHY<p class="C1"><ol class="C1"><li class="C1"> Padam, Pi&#257r&#257 Si&#7749gh, <i>Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh J&#299 de Darb&#257r&#299 Ratan. </i> Patiala, 1976<BR> <li class="C1"> Kuir Si&#7749gh, <i>Gurbil&#257s P&#257tsh&#257h&#299 10. </i> Patiala, 1968<BR> </ol><p class="CONT">Pi&#257r&#257 Si&#7749gh Padam<br></p><BR> </font> <img src="counter.aspx" width="1px" height="1px" alt=""> </HTML></BODY>
