388

Kunwar Jagat Singh served in the 42nd year under Mirza Ja’far Asaf Khan (No. 98) against Rajah Basu, zamindar of Mau and Pathan (Nurpur, N. E., Panjab). In the 44th year (1008), when Akbar moved to Malwah, and Prince Salim (Jahangir) was ordered to move against Rana Amr Singh, Man Singh was called from Bengal, and Jagat Singh was ordered to go to Bengal as naib of his father. While still at Agrah, he died from excessive drinking. Regarding J. S.’s daughter, vide p. 310 and No. 175. Maha Sing, Jagat’s younger son, was appointed in his stead. His youth and inexperience inclined the Afghans under ’Usman and Shuja’wal Khan to attack him. They defeated him and Partab Singh, son of Rajah Bhagwan Das, (No. 336), near Bhadrak in Orisa (45th year). Man Singh hastened to Bengal, and after defeating in 1009 the Afghans near Sherpur ’Atai, between Siuri (Sooree) in Birbhum and Murshidabad, recovered Lower Bengal and Orisa.
Maha Singh died soon after, like his father, from excessive drinking.
