HE BLESSES THE HUMBLE                                         

In 1701 AD the hill rajas attacked Anandpur taking petty landlords and the rich people with them. Their combined forces could not defeat the Singhs. The Singhs fought with the skill from inside the fort. Not seeing victory in sight, the hill rajas beseiged Anandpur and waited. The hill chiefs blocked the supplies of food to the city of Anandpur. Even after a seige of two months the Singhs did not surrender.
One day Raja Kesari Chand chalked a plan wit the other Rajas''Iron plates and shields were to be tied to the forehead of an elephant and it was to be intoxicated by feeding hemp and wine. The gate of Lohgarh fort as then be broken with his help. Attack was to be mounted o the fort after breaking down the gates. The Guru was to be captured alive, if possible.''
This scheme of Kesari Chand for breaking the gate was narrated to the Guru by an informer. The Guru said,''We too have an elephant in the fort, who can defeat Kesari Chand's elephant.'' Duni Chand was standing near the Guru at that time. He thought that the Guru's reference to the elephant of the fort might be towards him. He got frightened of facing the elephant. He thought it better to jump the wall of the fort and flee at night. In the darkness of the night, he fell while crossing the wall and broke his leg. With great difficulty, he reached his home at Amritsar.
When people at home came to know that he had deserted the Guru, they stopped talking to him. Ashamed as he was, he did not venture out of his home. Devoid of the blessings of the Guru, Duni Chand died of snake' bite inside his house. Afterwards, to wash out the blot of ignominy of their father, his two sons Bhai Anup Singh and Sarup Singh presented themselves before the Guru at Anandpur and started serving the Guru's institution, after partaking Amrit.
When the elephant, intoxicated by hill rajas, neared the fort gate, the Guru blessed Bhai Bachittar Singh son of Bhai Mani Singh Singh Martyr. He was given the serpentine spear and sent to face the elephant.With the blessings of the Guru, he got the gate of the fortress opened and with great alacrity, making the horse stand on its hind legs, struck the serpentine spear on the forehead of the elephant. The spear, piercing the iron plates on the forehead of the elephant stuck inside. The intoxication of hemp and wine disappeared. Writhing in pain, it turned and ran. The elephant began to trample the forces of the hill rajas. There was a panic in the forces of Raja Kesari Chand. The Singhs got their opportunity to come out and fight with the enemy. While fighting, Bhai Udhay Singh had a chance and with one clean stroke of his sword severed the head of Kesari Chand. He presented it to the Guru. With the failure of second scheme of the hill rajas and loss of Kesari Chand, the morale of the hill rajas was razed to the ground and in this way the seige of Anadpur was broken.
