Chapter LV: Appendix: No. I (1)

_Letter from Raja Jai Singh of Amber to Rana Sangram
Singh of Mewar, regarding Idar._

SRI RAMJI,[a.1.1]

SRI SITARAMJI,

When I was in the presence at Udaipur, you _commanded_[a.1.2] that Mewar was my home, and that Idar was the portico of Mewar, and to watch the occasion for obtaining it. From that time I have been on the look-out. Your agent, Mayaram, has again written regarding it, and Dilpat Ras read the letter to me verbatim, on which I talked over the matter with Maharaja Abhai Singh, who, acquiescing in all your views, has made a _nazar_ of the pargana to you, and his writing to this effect accompanies this letter.

The Maharaja Abhai Singh _petitions_ that you will so manage _that the occupant Anand Singh does not escape alive; as, without his death, your possession will be unstable_;[a.1.3] this is in your hands. It is my wish, also, that you would go in person, or if you deem this inexpedient, command the Dhabhai Naga, placing a respectable force under his orders, and having blocked up all the passes, you may then slay him. Above all things, let him not escape—let this be guarded against.

Asarh badi 7th (22nd of the first month of the monsoon),
S. 1784 (A.D. 1728).

ENVELOPE.

The Pargana of Idar is in Maharaja Abhai Singh’s jagir, who makes a nazar of it to the Huzur; should it be granted to any other, take care the Mansabdar never gains possession.

8th S., 1784[a.1.4] [770].

Footnote a.1.1:

Ram and Sita, whom the prince invokes, are the great parents of the
Kachhwaha race, of which Raja Jai Singh is the head. I have omitted
the usual string of introductory compliments.

Footnote a.1.2:

These terms completely illustrate the superior character in which the
Ranas of Mewar were held by the two princes next in dignity to him in
Rajputana a century ago.

Footnote a.1.3:

This deep anxiety is abundantly explained by looking at the
genealogical slip of the Rathors, at p. 1087, where it will be seen
that Anand Singh, whom the parricidal Abhai Singh is so anxious to be
rid of, is his own brother, innocent of any participation in that
crime, and _whose issue, although adopted into Idar, were
heirs-presumptive to Marwar_!

┌ Let my _mujra_ (respects) be known: when
_Written according to │ in the Diwan’s presence he ordered, that
custom in the margin with │ Idar was the portico, and Chappan the
the Raja’s own hand._ ┤ vestibule to Mewar, and that it was
│ necessary to obtain it. I have kept this
│ in mind, and by the Sri Diwan-ji’s fortune
└ it is accomplished!

Footnote a.1.4:

remarks: “We do not know how this statement is to be reconciled with
the following letter, quoted by Colonel Tod.”]
