Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan, or the Central and Western Rajput States of India v2.c28.188

v2.c28.188

Udai Singh was not ungrateful for the favours heaped upon him by the emperor, for whom his Rathors performed many signal services : for the raja was latterly too unwieldy for any steed to bear him to battle. The “king of the Desert” (the familiar epithet applied to him by Akbar) had a numerous progeny; no less than thirty-four legitimate sons and daughters, who added new clans and new estates to the Maru : of these the most conspicuous are Govindgarh and Pisangan ; while some obtained settlements beyond its limits which became independent and bear the name of the founders. Of these are Kishangarh and Ratlam in Malwa.
