"When Maharaja Jaswant Singh of Jodhpur was informed about the death of Mirza Raja Jai Singh, he is said to have expressed his feeling through the following couplet: GhanĂa na bĂje DevarĂn, sank na mĂne SĂh, Ye karsĂn phir Ăvjyo, MĂhĂrĂ JaisĂh. As Raja Maha Ringhâs son Wai Ringh is no more, Aurangzeb has no fear â he has stopped arti, puja and blowing of conch in the temples. Had he been alive today, he would not have allowed such a thing to happen.â"
