In September Akbar set out on his pilgrimage to Ajmer, where Mān Singh, who had been summoned from the Rānā's country in disgrace, joined the camp. He was a loyal servant of Akbar, and he had no reason to love Partāb Singh, who made no secret of his opinion of those Rājputs who had given daughters or sisters in marriage to Muslims, even of the imperial house, but he could hardly be expected to incur the infamy of delivering to disgrace, if not to death, the chief of his race, and he had undoubtedly let slip opportunities of taking the Rānā. Akbar should not have imposed such a task upon a Rājput, and he now seems to have understood that he had too severely tested a faithful servant, for after the lapse of a few days Mān Singh and his officers were pardoned and were admitted to his presence.
