Jayadhvaj Singh left no sons; so the nobles called in the Sāring Raja and placed him on the throne. The *Buranjis* are not agreed as to the relationship which existed between him and his predecessor. According to some, he was a brother, while others say that he was a cousin, and others again, that he was the grandson of some previous king. In some of the *Buranjis* it is said that Jayadhvaj Singh had two sons, neither of whom was considered fit to rule, but the weight of evidence is on the other side. The contemporary Muhammadan writer whose account has been quoted above says quite definitely that the Raja had no sons.
