“ When Ajmer was invested by the collective force of the empire,² Iradat Khan (Bangash), collector of the Jizya,³ took the Indha by the arm, and seated him in Nagor.⁴ But as soon as the Holi ⁵ was past, the ‘ Avatars of Jawalamukhi ’ ⁶ were consecrated : goats were sacrificed, and the blood, with oil and vermilion, was sprinkled upon them. The tents were moved out. Hearing this, Rao Indra produced the imperial patent, with the personal guarantee of Jai Singh of Amber. Abhai heeded not, and invested Nagor ; but Indra left his honour and his castle to the Fearless,⁷ who bestowed it on Bakhta his brother. He received the congratulations of Mewar, Jaisalmer, Bikaner, and Amber, and returned to his capital amidst the rejoicings of his subjects. This was in S. 1781.
