Mahārāja Abhai Singh, a.d. 1724-50.—The parricidal murder of Ajit is accounted the germ of destruction... "It was in 1781 (says the bard) Ajit went to heaven. With his own hand did the emperor Muhammad Shah put the tika on the forehead of Abhai Singh, girded him with the sword, bound the turah on his head, placed a dagger set with gems in his girdle, and with Chaunris, Naubats, and Nakkaras, and many valuable gifts, invested the young prince in all the dignities of his father."
