Raja Man Singh, Akbar's brother-in-law, was in charge of the last of these missions. In the year 1573, Akbar dispatched six diplomatic missions to Mewar in an attempt to persuade Rana Pratap to accept the latter's suzerainty, but Rana Pratap rejected all of them. He sent several emissaries to Mewar in the hopes of persuading Maharana Rana Pratap to sign a treaty, but the letter was only willing to sign a peace treaty that preserved Mewar's sovereignty.

Jagmal, unlike Bharat, did not voluntarily relinquish the throne. The late Maharana's nobles, especially the Chundawat Rajputs, forced Jagmal to abdicate the throne to Pratap Singh, knowing that this would be disastrous for Mewar.

As the late Maharana's body was being transported to the cremation grounds, Crown Prince Pratap Singh accompanied the Maharana's body. The late Maharana Udai Singh II, on the other hand, had succumbed to the influence of his favourite queen, Rani Bhatiyani, and had decreed that her son Jagmal should succeed to the throne. The Maharana died in 1572, allowing Crown Prince Pratap Singh to succeed him as Maharana. Maharana Udai Singh II and his nobles formed a temporary Mewar kingdom government in Gogunda. The young Pratap Singh decided to stay and battle the Mughals, but his elders intervened and persuaded him to leave Chittor, completely oblivious to the fact that his departure from Chittoor would change history forever.
