The prince was extremely fond of her, and after his death in 1604, she led a life full of sorrow. His fourth wife was the daughter of Rai Mal, the son of Rai Maldeo, ruler of Jodhpur. The marriage took place on the eve of 12 October 1595. Danyal's fifth wife was the daughter of Raja Dalpat Ujjainiya.
