v3.c12.1256

Traditionally said to have been discovered by Jayasiṃha I Mirzā (1605/1667) of Amber during a campaign against the Marāṭha chief Śivājī (1627/1680) in 1664/1665, at which time he was supposed to have been twenty years old, Jagannātha in fact is known only from his translations from the Arabic made for Jayasiṃha II Savāī (1699/1743) in the eighteenth century. See S. Dvivedin [1892] 102–110.
