During the battle of succession between the sons of Shah Jahan, Durgadas participated in the battle of Dharmat along with Maharaja Jaswant Singh. He was a brave warrior. It has been said that One after the other, Durgadas got seated on four horses and when all of them were killed, then he got seated on the fifth horse, but this fifth horse was also killed.
Till then not only his weapons had got broken but his body had also been severely injured. Finally he fell down on the battlefield. It looked as if Bhishma were lying on the bed. Due to his bravery and qualities, colonel James Todd has addressed him as “The Ulises of Rathores.”
