Rao Chandrasen
'we may reckon that he was, though junior, the choice both of his father and the nobles, who did not approve of Udai Singh's submission to Akbar' — said of Udai Singh's rival claim, implying Chandarsen was the family/noble favourite over Udai Singh, though no single sentence gives Chandarsen a formal installation.

Chandarsen, with a considerable number of the brave vassals of Maru, determined to cling to independence and the rude fare of the desert, rather than servilely follow in the train of the despot. When driven from Jodhpur, they took post in Siwana, in the western extremity of the State, and there held out to the death. For seventeen years he maintained his title to the gaddi, and divided the allegiance of the Rathors with his elder brother Udai Singh (though supported by the king), and stood the storm in which he nobly fell.

Maldeo's death occurred in S. 1625; but the chronicles do not admit of Udai Singh's elevation until the death of his brother Chandarsen, from which period we may reckon that he was, though junior, the choice both of his father and the nobles, who did not approve of Udai Singh's submission to Akbar.
