Additional quotes by Jai Singh II
When Maharaja Jaswant Singh of Jodhpur was informed about the death of Mirza Raja Jai Singh, he is said to have expressed his feeling through the following couplet:
GhanÔa na bÁje DevarÁn, sank na mÁne SÁh,
Ye karsÁn phir Ávjyo, MÁhÚrÁ JaisÁh.
As Raja Maha Ringh’s son Wai Ringh is no more, Aurangzeb has no fear – he has stopped arti, puja and blowing of conch in the temples. Had he been alive today, he would not have allowed such a thing to happen.‛
It is no exaggeration to say that the death of Mirza Raja Jai Singh of Amber, on 28th August 1667 removed from his path an effective restraint on his hostile attitude towards the Hindus clothed till then in several layers of pretence but which exposed itself in all its nakedness in the coming years.
