Achievements Of Sawai Raja Jai Singh
The Kachchwaha rulers of Amber-Jaipur trace their descent from Kush, the son of Ram, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Ram was the universal monarch, but he divided his entire empire into eight parts amongst his sons and nephews. The offshoots of his second son Kush moved their strongholds from eastern to central India and finally sometime in the11th century Prince Dulha Rai left his patrimony of Narwar for Dausa in Eastern Rajasthan. He was a brave man, married to the daughter of a Chauhan Chief of Moran. With the help of the Moran chief he captured Dausa and Bhandarej and after consolidating his position also annexed Manch (Ramgarh), defeated the Bargujar chief of Deoti (Rajorgarh- Paranagar region). His chivalrous acts are narrated in bardic tales and also in a love lyric originally composed by Kushal Labh, a Jain resident of Jaisalmer in 16th cent. In Dingal entitled- "Dhola Maru Ra Duha", it is an extremely popular theme in the entire Hindi belt. Different versions in regional dialects are sung throughout the year by the bards. His son and successor Kakil Dev was equally brave and established his control over Amber-Bairath region. He made Amber his capital and built the Ambikeshwar Mahadeva Temple. Prince Pajwan Dev was the great- grandson of Kakil. His heroic deeds are amply narrated in "Prithvi Raj Raso" as he was said to be married to a cousin of Prithvi Raj III or Rai Pithora (1178-1192), the famous Chauhan ruler of Sambhar- Ajmer. Pajwan fought bravely on the side of Prithvi Raj in the campaigns against the Chandelas of Mahoha and Jaichand of Kanauj; and also in the battle of Tarain. After Pajwan, his successors Malesi, Jonsi, Udaikaran, Narsingh, Banvir and Chandra Sen ruled over the Kachhwaha State of Amber and the clan multiplied rapidly during this period. A number of offshoots sprang up from Udai Karan, which caused internal feuds. Maharaja Prithvi Raj (1503-1527 AD.) was the disciple of a Vaishnava saint, Krishna Das Payhari, and was a gallant warrior and a farsighted ruler. He formed twelve Kotris of his Kachchwaha State and divided it amongst his sons and kinsmen to remove the chances of a feud in the future. He actively participated in the battle of Khanua (March 1527 AD) and was the major partner of the Rajput confederacy formed under the umbrella of Rana Sanga of Mewar against Babar. The outcome of this war adversely affected the cause of the Rajputs. Rana Sanga and Prithvi Raj Kachchwaha were severely wounded; the latter died in November, 1527.
Maharaja Prithvi Raj was succeeded by his son Puranmal, who could rule only for a very short period from 5th November 1527 to 19th January 1534. Bhim Dev (1534- 37), Ratan Singh (1537-48 AD) and Askaran (1548) succeeded him one after the other. Maharaja Bharmal the fourth son of Prithvi Raj and his Rathore queen Apurva Devi or Bala-Bai was crowned on 1st June 1548 A.D. on the Gaddi of Amber. Under the spiritual influence of his teacher (Guru) named Krishna Das he embraced Vaishnavism and was bestowed with idols of Narsingh and Sitaramji. He made pilgrimages to Dwaraka ji and other religious centres. A Mughal General Majnu Khan introduced Maharaja Bharmal to young Akbar at Delhi (Dec. 1556) and subsequently Bharmal's family became a close ally of Akbar and this alliance continued for well over two centuries. This alliance proved to be of great help to both parties. Akbar and his successors continued to gain loyal devotion of the Kachhwahas. To quote Sir Jadunath Sarkar, the famous historian: "The house of Kachchwahas supplied Akbar and his successors the cool penetrating brain power, the unfailing political insight, the great administrative skill and the inborn power of leadership of a Man Singh, a Mirza Raja Jai Singh and a Sawai Jai Singh.”
