3. The third is called Chaque (? Kachhwahah); his capital town is called Amber. This country was formerly ruled over by Rajah Jai Singh, a name meaning 'Lion's Victory.' He was of great use to Aurangzeb, and as payment for his services that monarch caused him to be poisoned. His descendants have done good work against the peasants of Agrah and Mathura, as may be seen in my Second Part (II. 252). This prince or rajah [61], can produce for a campaign forty thousand horse and one hundred and fifty thousand infantry, all of the same race. Besides the above three there are other thirty smaller and less powerful rajahs. Of these, the first is Rajah Quaran (Karan), and this is also the name of his race; the word means 'liberal.' I have spoken of him already (II. 14). He has an army of twenty-five thousand horse and eighty thousand infantry, all of one race. The second is of the Ara (Hada) race; one of their princes died in the battle fought by prince Dara against Aurangzeb and Murad Bakhsh near the Chambal river on the fourth June, 1656 [correctly 1658]. His name was Chatar Sal Rae—that is, 'Beauty of the Umbrella.' He is master of twenty thousand horse and fifty thousand infantry, all of one race.
