The Tabaqát says that he was in 1001 a commander of Fifteen Hundred and ruler of Jodhpur.
Akbar, in 994, married Udai Singh’s daughter to Jahángír. On p. 8 of the Tuzuk, Jahángír says that her name was Jagat Gosáíní. She was the mother of Prince Khurram (Sháhjahán); vide p. 310, l. 19.
Mirza Hadi in his preface to Jahangir’s Memoirs (the Tuzuk i Jahangiri) has the following remark (p. 6): ‘Rajah Udai Sing is the son of Rajah Maldeo, who was so powerful that he kept up an army of 80,000 horse. Although Rana Sanka, who fought with Firdaus-makani (Babar) possessed much power, Maldeo was superior to him in the number of soldiers and the extent of territory; hence he was always victorious.’
From the Akbarnamah (Lucknow Edition, III. p. 183) we see that Moth Rajah accompanied in the 22nd year Cadiq Khan (No. 43), Rajah Askaran, and Ulugh Khan Habshi (No. 135) on the expedition against Madhukar (26th Rabi’ I, 985). In the 28th year, he served in the Gujrat war with Muzaffar (Akbarnamah, III, 422).
Another daughter of Moth Rajah was married to Jaimall, son of Rupsi (No. 118).
