v4.c16.49

Akbar now perceived that he could not count on even the most loyal of his Hindu officers to aid him in humbling the chief of their race, and perforce contented himself for the time by reducing to obedience the minor chiefs of Rājāsthān. The Rāwals Partāb of Bānswārā and Askaran of Dūngarpur were constrained to pay him homage, and the latter to give him a daughter in marriage. In 1557 Zain Khān Kūka compelled the rebellious Rājā of Būndī to submit, and in 1578 the Bundelā, Madhukar Sāh of Orchha, who had been in arms for more than a year against an imperial force, surrendered to Sādiq Muhammad Khān, and was presented at court, where he swore allegiance to the emperor.
