During his reign, he conquered 52 fortresses and had a revenue of seven lakhs. The next renowned king of this principality was Raja Pahar Singh, who was an ally of Maharaja Jawahar Singh Jat of Bharatpur. Raja Pahar Singh helped the Sinsinwar Jat ruler in his expeditions in Pushkar and gave support in expanding territories in Northern Madhya Pradesh in 1767-1768 A.D. by subduing small Rajput and Maratha chiefs.[3]
