Treaty with the British.—It was in the Samvat (era) of Vikrama, 1818,¹ that Rawal Mulraj was inaugurated on the throne of Jaisal; and it was in the year of our Lord 1818, that a treaty of “perpetual friendship, alliance, and unity of interests” was concluded between the Honourable East-India Company and Maha Rawal Mulraj, the Raja of Jaisalmer, his heirs and successors, the latter agreeing “to act in subordinate co-operation with the British Government, and with submission to its supremacy.”² This was almost the last act of Rawal Mulraj, who had always been a mere puppet in the hands of Mehta Salim Singh or his father. He died A.D. 1820, when his grandson, Gaj Singh, was proclaimed.
