The Institutes of Akbar 349: 118. Rúpsí Bairágí, brother of Rájah Bihárí Mall (No. 23).

349

The Maásir says that Rúpsí was the son of Rájah Bihárí Mall’s brother. He was introduced at Court in the 6th year.
According to the Tabaqát, he was a commander of Fifteen Hundred.
Jaimall, Rúpsí’s son, was the first that paid his respects to Akbar (p. 329). He served some time under Sharafuddín (No. 17), jágírdár of Ajmír, and was T’hánahdár of Mírt’ha. When Sharaf rebelled, Jaimall went to Court. In the 17th year, he served in the Haráwal of Khán Kalán (Vide No. 129), and accompanied the emperor on the forced march to Patan and Ahmadábád (p. 416, note). In the 21st year, he served in the expedition against Daudá, son of Rái Surjan (No. 96), and the conquest of Búndí (Muharram, 985). Subsequently, he was sent by Akbar on a mission to the grandees of Bengal; but on reaching Chausá, he suddenly died.
Jaimall’s wife, a daughter of Mot’h Rajah (No. 121), refused to mount the funeral pile; but Udai Singh, Jaimall’s son, wished to force her to become a Suttee. Akbar heard of it, and resolved to save her. He arrived just in time. Jagnat’h (No. 69) and Rai Sál (No. 106) got hold of Udai Singh, and took him to Akbar, who imprisoned him.
The story of the heavy armour which Jaimall wore in the fight with Muhammad Husain Mirza, after Akbar’s forced march to Patan and Ahmadabad, is known from Elphinstone’s History (Fifth Edition, p. 509, note). Rúpsí was offended, because the emperor ordered Karan (a grandson of Maldeo) to put on Jaimall’s armour, and angrily demanded it back. Akbar then put off his own armour. Bhagwán Das, however, thought it necessary to ask the emperor to pardon Rúpsí’s rudeness.
