CHAPTER 14. Rāja Bhīm Singh, a.d. 1793-1803.—The intelligence of Bijai Singh's death was conveyed by express to his grandson Bhim, at Jaisalmer. In "twenty-two hours" he was at Jodhpur, and ascending directly to the citadel, seated himself upon the gaddi, while his rival, Zalim Singh, the rightful heir, little expecting this celerity, was encamped at the Merta gate, awaiting the "lucky hour" to take possession. That hour never arrived.
