† Cunningham, 77, gives Bahlolpur as one stage in the flight, and the final refuge was, he says, in the wastes of Bhatinda (about 60 m. s. e. of Firuzpur, and 120 m. s. w. of Rupar; it has now a railway station.) He adds that the Sikhs place these events in 1705-6. McGregor, i. 87, has ‘Belalpore.’ Thence Govind went to Machiwara (91), thence to Kanija, three miles from Ludhiana (92), then to Jalpura, ten miles from Ray Kot (92). His followers now assembled, and he went to Kot Kapura (92), then to Muktsar (93). The Muhammadans followed and Govind defeated them. Being unable to obtain water, they were forced to retreat.
