He was an able prince, but a bigoted Sunní, and attempted to force the Hindús to adopt that faith, destroying their temples, and levying the capitation tax (jizya) from every Hindú. The feudatory chiefs of Rájpútáná successfully resisted the impost. He died after a reign of 50 lunar years at Ahmadábád in the Dakhin, on Friday, the 21st of February, 1707 O. S., 28th Ẕil-ḳa'da, 1118 H., aged 90 lunar years and 17 days, and was interred in the court of the mausoleum of Shaikh Zain-uddín, in Khuldábád, 8 kos from the city of Aurangábád.
