Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan, or the Central and Western Rajput States of India v2.c28.s1.31

v2.c28.s1.31

¹ The Mewar chronicle claims a victory for the combined Rajput army, and relates a singular stratagem by which they gained it ; but either I have overlooked it, or the Raj-Vilas does not specify that Prince Bhim, son of the heroic Rana Raj, fell on this day, so glorious in the annals of both States. See Vol. I. p. 448. [According to Manucci (ii. 234) the Rāja “ was obliged to cede to Aurangzeb a province and the town of Mairtha.” According to another story, Aurangzeb offered the succession to Ajīt Singh on condition that he was converted to Islām. The Emperor kept a counterfeit Ajīt Singh in ward, and brought him up as a Musalmān, called him Muhammadi Rāj, and on his death he was buried as a Musalmān (Jadunath Sarkar iii. 374).]
