He served in the 21st year, under Man Singh, and in the 28th year, under Jagannath (No. 69), against the Rana. While serving under the latter, Raju commanded the Imperial garrison of Mandalgarh, and successfully conducted an expedition against a detachment of the Rana’s troops. In the 30th year, Jagannath and Raju attacked the Rana in his residence; but he escaped.
Later, Raju served under Prince Murad, Governor of Malwah, whom, in the 36th year, he accompanied in the war with Rajah Madhukar; but as the Prince was ordered by Akbar to return to Malwah, Raju had to lead the expedition. In the 40th year, he served in the siege of Ahmadnagar. Once the enemies surprised the Imperialists, and did much damage to their cattle. Raju attacked them, but was killed in the fight together with several of his relations (1003 A. H.).
