After Maldev death on November 7, 1562, a fratricidal contest began for the throne of Marwar and finally his third son, Chandrasen crowned himself in Jodhpur. But his reign was very short-lived as Akbar occupied Merta in 1562 and occupied Jodhpur in 1563.[4]

Chandra Sen seizes the throne on the death of his father and in the absence of his elder brothers. On learning of Chandra Sen's usurpation of their position, his brothers joined forces with Moghul Emperor Akbar.

Aided by Chandra Sen's dispossessed brothers, Moghul Emperor Akbar gains the submission of Jodhpur and Marwar, along with the other Rajputs of Bikaner, Bundi, and Jaisalmer. Governors are assigned to Jodhpur during this period, before the ruling house is restored. Subsequent generations consistently enter Moghul service
