Bhagawant Das (1527 – 4 December 1589) was a Kacchwaha ruler of Amber.
Life
He was the eldest son of Raja Bharmal and succeeded him, after his death.[1] Raja Bhagwant was also the elder brother of Mariam-uz-Zamani, one of the wives of the Mughal emperor Akbar.[2]
Bhagwant Das was one of the generals of Akbar, who awarded him a mansab (rank) of 5000 in 1585.[3] and conferred him the title of Amir-ul-Umra.[4] 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.[5]
He married his daughter, Manbhawati Bai, to Prince Salim, who later assumed throne as emperor Jahangir.[6][7] Their child was Jahangir's eldest son, Khusrau Mirza.[8]
Shortly after attending the cremation of Todar Mal in Lahore, Bhagwant Das, having suffering from a bout of vomiting and strangury, died in 1589.[9] He was succeeded by his son from Bhagawati Devi, Raja Man Singh I.[1][10] His second son, Madho Singh, became the ruler of Bhangarh.[11]
