JĪVAN, BHĀĪ, the younger son of Bhāī Bhagatū (d. 1652), a Sikh reputed for his piety, was a devotee of Gurū Har Rāi (1630-61). While his elder brother, Gaurā, was a warrior and leader of the Siddhū-Brāṛs of the area around Baṭhiṇḍā (30º-14'N, 74º-59'E), Jīvan remained in attendance upon Gurū Har Rāi. He died young. His descendants are settled at Bhuchcho, in Baṭhiṇḍā district, and at Koṭ Bhāī, in Farīdkoṭ district of the Punjab.
