Both brothers had left sons who were entitled to succeed; but as they were young, Pragji seized the throne and became Rao Pragmalji I.
[1] When Kanyoji, the son of Ravaji whom Pragmalji had murdered, became a man, he tried unsuccessfully many a times to regain his rightful throne of Kutch.
On assuming power in 1698 (Samvat 1754) Pragmalji had placed him in command of Morbi, on the southern shore of the Gulf of Kutch which was then part of the state.
Haloji unable to resist retired to Abdasa, and there founded the towns of Kothara, Kotri, and Nagarchi.
