His son, Man Singh I, was one of the Navaratnas of Akbar, and his daughter, Manbhawati Bai, was the first and chief wife of Jahangir.

Life

Amber Fort, in Amber, the capital of Raja Bhagwant Das.

He was the eldest son of Raja Bharmal and succeeded him.[3]

Bhagwant Das was one of the generals of Akbar, who awarded him a mansab (rank) of 5000 in 1585.[4] and conferred him the title of Amir-ul-Umra.[5] He fought many battles for Akbar, including battles in Punjab, Kashmir, and Afghanistan, and was also the governor of Kabul. Bhagwant Das soundly defeated the army of the Kashmiri king, Yousuf Shah Chak.[6]

He married his daughter, Manbhawati Bai, to Prince Salim, who later assumed throne as emperor Jahangir.[7][8] Their child was Jahangir's eldest son, Khusrau Mirza.[9]

Shortly after attending the cremation of Todar Mal in Lahore, Bhagwant Das, having suffering from a bout of vomiting and strangury, died in 1589.[10] He was succeeded by his son from Bhagawati Devi, Raja Man Singh I.[11][12] His second son, Madho Singh, became the ruler of Bhangarh.[13]
