Upon the death of his father,
Sabha Singh, in 1752, he ascended the throne of
Panna. He was not the eldest son but was beloved by his father and ascended the throne according to his father’s wishes. The
durbar of the
Peshwa of
Poona recognized him and secured an agreement from him to pay Rs. 625,000. He constructed a temple at
Chitrakoot and the parikrama () around Kamadgiri. He was murdered in 1758 by his brother,
Hindupat, with the aid of
Beni Singh. The
Gonds of the Dang-Charhas family in
Chhattisgarh, who previously lived in
Panna and were patronized by him, sang a song lamenting his death. He is still remembered for his lavish generosity. Among other gifts, he allotted territory worth one lakh for the Raj Bhog of the Chitrakoot temples. He was succeeded by his brother,
Hindupat Singh. ==References==
