                   Raja Mal Khan, the Janjua king                                   |                    Raja Bhir, the elder son of Raja Mal Khan                                   |                    Raja Acharpal (later converted to Islam and was renamed Raja Ahmed Khan)                                   |                             Raja Sunpal                                   |                             Raja Islam-ud-din                                   |                             Raja Noor-ud-din                                   |                             Raja Daulat Khan                                   |                             Raja Hans Khan                                   |                             Raja Malu Khan (during Jehangir's reign [1605-28])
