The Institutes of Akbar 334: 103. Rái Durgá Sisodíah.

334

Rái Durgá is generally called in the Akbarnámah, Rái Durgá Chandráwat. The home of the family was the Parganah of Rámpúr, also called Islámpúr, near Chitor.
In the 26th year of Akbar's reign, Rái Durgá accompanied Prince Murád on his expedition against Mírzá Muhammad Hakím of Kábul. In the 28th year, he was attached to Mírzá Khán's (No. 29) corps, and distinguished himself in the Gujrát war. In the 30th year, he was with M. 'Azíz Kokah (No. 21) in the Dak'hin. In the 36th year, he followed Prince Murád to Málwah, and later to the Dak'hin.
In the 45th year, Akbar sent him after Muzaffar Husain Mírzá. He then accompanied Abulfazl to Násik, and went afterwards home on leave. He returned, but after six weeks went again home, apparently without permission.
He died towards the end of the 2nd year of Jahángír's reign.
According to the Tuzuk (p. 63), he had served Akbar for upwards of forty years. Jahángír says, he had at first been in the service of Ráná Udai Singh, and reached, during the reign of Akbar, the dignity of a Commander of Four Thousand. He is said to have been a good tactician.
The Tabaqát says that he was in 1001 a Commander of Fifteen Hundred.
The Maásir continues the history of his descendants, from which the following tree has been taken.
