<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Turbulence of the Játs.
[Text, vol. ii. p. 394.] It was now reported from Ãgra that when Ãghar Khán came there under orders from Kábul, a party of Játs attacked the caravan near Ãgra. They seized the cattle and plundered the carts which were in the rear, and carried off some women as prisoners. Ãghar Khán pursued them to the neighbourhood of a fort, where, after a sharp struggle, he rescued the women. He then boldly invested the fort, but he was killed by a musket-ball. His son-in-law was also killed. Khán-Jahán Kokaltásh had formerly failed in executing a commission to reÂstrain the Játs, and for this and some displeasing actions he was recalled, and Prince Bedár Bakht was appointed on the duty.
An order was issued that no Hindú should ride in a pálkà or on an Arab horse without permission.

[Text, vol. ii. p. 605.] Towards the end of the year 1119 the Emperor marched from Ãgra, with the intention of chastising the Rájpúts in the vicinity of ÃdÃpúr and Jodpúr. From the reports of the news-writers of the province of AjmÃr, and the parganas around Jodpúr, the following matters became known to His Majesty. Rája AjÃt Singh, who was called the son of Rája Jaswant, had been brought up by the wiles of Durgá Dás, and other evil-disposed infidels, as the son of the deceased Rája.* He had cast off his allegiance to the late Emperor, and done many improper things. After the death of Aurangzeb he again showed his disobedience and rebellion by oppressing Musulmáns, forbidding the killing of cows, preventing the summons to prayer, razing the mosques which had been built after the destruction of the idol-temples in the late reign, and repairing and building anew idol-temples. He warmly supported and assisted the army of the Ráná of ÃdÃpúr, and was closely allied with Rája Jai Singh, whose son-in-law he was. He had carried his disaffection so far that he had not attended at Court since the accession. On the 8th Sha'bán the Emperor marched to punish this rebel and his tribe, by way of Ãmber, the native land of Jai Singh, between AjmÃr and Chitor. * *
AjÃt Singh and his allied Rájas knew that submission and obedience alone could save them and their families and proÂperty; so he addressed himself to Khán-khánán and his son Khán-zamán, expressing his sorrow, humility, and obedience; and he sent a message humbly asking that Khán-zamán and the KázÃu-l Kuzát might come into Jodpúr, to rebuild the mosques, destroy the idol-temples, enforce the provisions of the law about the summons to prayer and the killing of cows, to appoint magistrates and to commission officers to collect the jizya. His submission was graciously accepted, and his requests granted.* Officers of justice, kázÃs, muftÃs, imáms, and muazzins (criers to prayer) were appointed in Jodpúr and other towns in the country. AjÃt Singh and Jai Singh, with the concurrence of Durgá Dás, who was the very soul of the opposition, came to Court in hope of receiving pardon for their offences, and each was honoured with the gift of a robe, elephant, etc.

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Rája AjÃt Singh, Súbadár of Ahmadábád and AjmÃr, had exceeded his authority by prohibiting the slaughter of cows in his jurisdiction; so Sa'ádat Khán, Súbadár of Ãgra, was summoned to Court, and sent to punish him; but he begged to be excused. Afterwards Samsámu-d daula, Kamru-d dÃn Khán Bahádur, and Haidar Kulà Khán, were ordered to discharge this duty. Each one accepted the duty reposed in him, and even sent on his travelling equipage; but they all retracted, and did not think it advisable to proceed; especially Samsámu-d daula, who was afraid that it would be a tedious undertaking, and that the royal funds would not suffice. It might even cause disturbances in other parts, where men were ill disposed. So not one of these amÃrs was willing to go. At this time intelligence arrived that Nizámu-l Mulk had given Rája AjÃt Singh a sharp warning. So the Rája sent a message professing obedience, announcing his withdrawal from Ahmad-ábád, and praying for his retention in the súba of AjmÃr. * * Haidar Kulà Khán was appointed to succeed him at Ahmadábád.
