Mata Jito ji was the mother of Sahibzaada Jujhar Singh, Sahibzaada Zorawar Singh and Sahibzaada Fateh Singh.

The Sikh scholars and historians [[Kahn Singh Nabha|Bhai Kahn Singh Nabha]], [[Suraj Parkash|Bhai Santokh Singh]], [[Panth Parkash|Giani Gian Singh]] and Kesar Singh Chibber believe that Mata Sundari was the Guru's second wife and do not support the renaming proposition, arguing that the place where the last rites of Mata Jito were performed in 1700 is present in [[Anandpur Sahib]]. She died when her youngest son, Sahibzaada fateh Singh was merely 1 year and 10 months old. The place where Mata Sundari was cremated in 1747 is present in [[Delhi]]. Also Mata Jito's father is recorded as Bhai Hari Jas, of Lahore, and Mata Sundari's father as Bhai Ram Saran, of Bijvara.<ref name=eos/>
