Indian history study reveals that Sawai Jai Singh performed at least two yajnas mentioned in vedic literature namely vajpeya and ashwamedha.

Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh ( November 3, 1688 – September 21, 1743 ) was ruler of the kingdom of Amber ( later called Jaipur ).

When Sawai Jai Singh sat on the ancestral throne at Amber, he had barely enough resources to pay for the support of 1000 cavalry — this abysmal situation had arisen in the past 32 years, coinciding with the reign of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb.

When Aurangzeb ’ s grandson Bidar Bakht deputed Sawai Jai Singh to govern the province of Malwa ( 1704 ), Aurangzeb angrily revoked this appointment as jaiz nist ( invalid or opposed to Islam ).

Sawai Jai Singh formed an alliance with the Rajput states of Mewar ( matrimonially ) and Marwar, which defeated and expelled the Mughals from Rajputana.

Sawai Raja Jai Singh received large funds from the Moghul courts and with the support of Bhim Singh Hada, of Kotah, Gaj Raj Singh Rathore of Mewar, and Budh Singh Hada of Bundi, besieged the fort of Thun in 1716.

Upon Sawai Jai Singh ’ s second appointment to Malwa ( 1729 – 1730 ), as a far-sighted statesmen, Jai Singh was able to perceive a complete change in the political situation, during the twelve years which had passed since his first viceroyalty there.

Nonetheless, in the name of the friendship between their royal ancestors, Sawai Jai Singh II, was able to appeal to Shahu to restore to the imperialist, the great fortress of Mandu which the Marathas had occupied a few weeks earlier ( order date 19 March 1730 ).

In this regard, Sawai Jai Singh II was practically the last subahdar of Malwa, as Nizam-ul-Mulk Asaf Jah, who replaced him in 1737, met with most discomfiting failure at the hands of the Peshwa, resulting with the ceding of the whole of Malwa to the Marathas ( Treaty of Duraha, Saturday 7 January 1738 ).

Foreseeing the troubled time ahead, Sawai Jai Singh II, initiated a program of extensive fortification within the thikanas under Jaipur, to this date, most of the later fortifications abound the former Jaipur state, are attributed to the reign of Sawai Jai Singh II.

Sawai Jai Singh's experimental weapon, the Jaivana which he created prior to the shift of his capital to Jaipur, remains the largest wheeled cannon in the world.

In 1732, Sawai Jai Singh, as governor of Malwa undertook, to maintain 30, 000 soldiers, in equal proportions of horsemen and foot-musketeers.

To thwart further Maratha domination Sawai Jai Singh planned a local hegemony, to form under the leadership of Jaipur, a political union in Rajputana.

After Sawai Jai Singh ’ s death in 1743 ( he was cremated at the Royal Crematorium at Gaitore in the north of Jaipur ), these troubles were inherited by his less capable son Ishwari Singh.

It is surprising that in the midst of local wars, foreign invasions, and consequent turmoil, Sawai Jai Singh found time and energy to build astronomical observatories.

For these multiple achievements Sawai Jai Singh II is remembered even to this date, as the most enlightened king of 18th Century India.
