C. A. Si'lberrad —History of; Western Bundelkhand, [No. 2, 
grant him the ‘hak’ to which he was entitled as son of the first Rani. 
The Emperor ordered Bharat Sah to give him one-eighth part of the 
kingdom. He accordingly granted his brother a jagir of Rs. 75,000 in 
Bansi together with Raor and a garden in Lalitpur city. The ten uncles 
and four brothers of Bharat Sah, who had been made separate share¬ 
holders in the kingdom were made subject to Krishn Rao. From this 
time the descendants of Krishn Rao have been known as the “ Bansi- 
walas.” They were entitled to take their seats on the right hand in 
Durbar, and were invested with the right of installing the Raja. Krishn 
Rao built a fort in Bansi and a well in Raor, where is now the Lalitpur 
Municipal School. He had three sons Bishan Rai, Udebhan and 
Dalip Narain, and died in 1643 when he was succeeded by Bishan Rai. 
Udebhan accompanied Debi Singh (Raja of Chanderi) to Kabul with an 
expedition sent by the Emperor of Delhi, and was killed there with 50 
horsemen. As a remuneration the Emperor gave his son Makund Singh 
the title of Diwan, and presented him with a horse and two swords in 
addition to 58 villages in pargana Etawah.* Makund Singh kept this 
jagir separate from that which had been granted him by his grand¬ 
father Krishn Rao. His uncle Bishan Rai was annoyed at this and con¬ 
fiscated his ‘ hak *; Makund Singh complained against him to Maharaja 
Debi Sigh, and the discussion continued for some years, until finally in 
1683 it was agreed that the petitioner should get villages worth 
Rs. 27,000 from the jagir. 1 2 
Diwan Makund Singh had two sons, Dal Singh and Naraingir; to 
the former he gave pargana Etawah, and to the latter the Bansi villages 
After having done this he went to Delhi, and accompanied the Imperial- 
army commanded by Subharam to Kandahar where he was killed in 
1760. Maharaja Debi Singh gave the title of Diwan to Dal Singh and 
Naraingir and confirmed them as jagirdars of Etawah and Datia respec¬ 
tively. 3 
In 1735 Malhar Rao Holkar 4 S came from the Deccan and killed 
Dal Singh. His son Dhan Singh then left Etawah and went to Datia. 6 
In 1737 Abulfazl, an Imperial general, attacked Chanderi and a battle 
was fought at Datia in which Diwan Nai aingir and 300 sepoys were 
slain. After his death his son Dhurmangad Singh succeeded him. 
1 Now part of Khorai Tahsil in Sagar district.

Deogarh and Datia, at which last named is a ruined fort on the Betwa three miles 
above Deogarh.
