[2] By the end his reign Rana Pratap was able to recover much of his ancestral kingdom (as attested by the contemporaneous epigraphic evidence), which included all 36 outposts of Mewar, apart from Chittor and Mandalgarh which continued to remain under the Mughals.

[3] After Pratap's death, Akbar despatched a strong force with Raja Man Singh, Shah Kuli Khan and other senior Mansabdars under the nominal command of Prince Salim (later Emperor Jahangir).

Rana Amar Singh, following his father's policy, sought refuge in the hilly regions of western Mewar.

Amar led a hard fought battle to defend his territory and personally killed the Mughal commander Sultan Khan and his horse with a spear which went through them both.

In an attack by Abdullah Khan on Chavand, about 2000-3000 Rajputs staying there fought till death and Amar Singh was forced to abandon the capital.

Abdullah Khan was eventually defeated by Mewari forces at Battle of Ranakpur in 1611 rendering his expedition a total failure.

The Rajputs were easily able to seek refuge in the hilly tracks of Rajputana and the Mughals largely failed to penetrate the area.

Due to his old age, Amar Singh was not asked to attend the Mughal Court in person and Mewar including Chittor was assigned to him as Watan Jagir.

[2] Amar Singh patronised an author called Mathuratmaja ("son of Mathura"), who wrote Amara-bhushana (IAST: Amarabhūṣaṇa) and Ishta-ghatika-shodhana (Iṣṭaghaṭikāśodhana).

It is said that he felt the insult of accepting a Mughal farman so keenly that he retired to his private chamber, leaving the administration in the hands of the heir-apparent, Karan Singh II.
