PIRĀGĀ, BHĀĪ, or Parāg Dās as he is named in the Bhaṭṭ Vahīs, was the son of Gotam, a Chhibbar Brāhmaṇ of village Kāṛiālā now in Jehlum district of Pakistan. Bhāī Pirāgā embraced Sikh faith in the time of Gurū Arjan. In the time of Gurū Hargobind, he distinguished himself as a soldier and fought in the battles of Ruhelā and Amritsar. According to the Bhaṭṭ Vahīs, Bhāī Matī Dās and Bhāī Satī Dās, who remained in attendance upon Gurū Tegh Bahādur and who were martyred with him at Delhi in 1675, were the grandsons of Bhāī Parag Dās.
