Learning the news, Guru Gobind Singh announced it in the dewan (assembly) and asked for a brave man who could face and crush the pride of the haughty Madan Khan.
[citation needed] On hearing the announcement from the Guru, Bhai Mahi Singh immediately sought his permission and blessings to defeat Madan Khan.
[citation needed] The news of the victory of Bhai Mahi Singh was broken to the congregation which received great applause from the Guru and the entire sangat.
[citation needed] Bhai Mahi Singh later died, a martyr to the Sikh cause, while fighting valiantly at the Battle of Chappar Chiri under the standard of Banda Bahadur, twenty kilometres from Sirhind on May 12, 1710 AD.
[citation needed] Another source states he was martyred on 9 September 1712 by being wrapped in cotton and being burnt to death in Samba alongside his brother, Bhai Dargahi Singh.
