The Áín i Akbari (Blochmann, Jarrett) 248 - **Language:** English ### [248](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.248) In the Histories we find the spellings Bhagwant, Bhagwant, and Bhagwan. He joined Akbar’s service with his father (No. 23). In 980, in the fight with Ibrahim Husain Mirza near Sarnal (Briggs, Sartal), he saved Akbar’s life. He also distinguished himself against the Rana of Idar, whose son, Amr Singh, he brought to Court. When, in the 23rd year, the Kachwahas had their tuyuls transferred to the Panjab, Rajah Bh. D. was appointed Governor of the province. In the 29th year, Bh.’s daughter was married to Prince Salim, of which marriage Prince Khusrau was the offspring. In the 30th year, Bh. D. was made a commander of Five Thousand, and Governor of Zabulistan, as Man Singh was sent against the Yusufzais. But Akbar for some reason detained him. In Khairabad, Bh. D. had a fit of madness, and wounded himself with a dagger; but he recovered, soon after, in the hands of the Court Doctors. In the 32nd year, the jagirs of the Rajah and his family were transferred to Bihar, Man Singh taking the command of the province. Rajah Bh. D. died in the beginning of 998 at Lahor, a short time after Rajah Todar Mall (No. 39). People say that on returning from Todar Mall’s funeral, he had an attack of strangury, of which he died. He had the title of Amir ul Umara. The Jami’ Masjid of Lahor was built by him. Regarding his sons, vide Nos. 30, 104, 336. - [Previous: 247](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.247) - [Next: 249](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.249) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.248](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.248) · Pramāṇa
