Biography
In 1731, his father, Chhatrasal, divided his principality among his sons and granted the largest portion, valued at 39 lakhs annually, to his eldest son, Harde Sah.[2] Harde Sah's share included Panna.[1] In 1731, he succeeded his father as the ruler of Bundelkhand.[1] That same year, he established his capital at Panna, which marked the beginning of Panna’s existence as a separate principality.[1][3]
In 1732, he attacked the state of Rewa during the minority of its ruler, Avadhut Singh, and constructed the Bundela Darwaza there.[4][5] He also annexed Birsinghpur, a part of Rewa, into his territory.[4][5] He continued to hold Rewa until 1739, when he restored it to Avadhut Singh.[4][6]
He married and had a total of nine sons, eight of whom were legitimate and one illegitimate.[4]
He died on 6 February 1739 and was succeeded by his son Sabha Singh.[1][7] He had another son, Pirthi Singh, who was appointed to Garhakota and became the ancestor of the Raja of Shahgarh.[8]
