Dr. Ziyaud-Din Abdul-Hayy Desai (b. 18 May 1925) has provided the most important but sadly neglected source-material for medieval history in his book "Arabic Persian and Urdu Inscriptions of West India". The book has inscriptional information about Junjala at S.No. 122.

The oral tradition tells us that a certain Ransi, whose family adhered Pir Satgur, also became a disciple of Pir Shams. His son, Ajmal (or Ajay Singh), the father of Ramdeo, continued to revere Pir Shams. After visiting Junjala, Jaitgarh and Karel, Pir Shams proceeded to Bichun and Sakhun in Jaipur-Ajmer region.
