<br />
==Reign==<br />
Upon his father's death in 1748, he declared himself the [[Rao (title)|Rao]] of [[Sikar (estate)|Sikar]].<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" /> Soon after, when [[Ishwari Singh of Jaipur|Ishwari Singh]] went to Merta to assist his son-in-law [[Ram Singh of Marwar|Ram Singh]], Samrath and his brother [[Chand Singh of Sikar|Chand Singh]] joined him with their forces.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":2" /> Taking advantage of his absence, the [[Qaimkhani|Qaimkhanis]] seized [[Fatehpur, Rajasthan|Fatehpur]].<ref name=":1" /> Upon hearing this, he stayed with [[Ishwari Singh of Jaipur|Ishwari Singh]] but dispatched Chand Singh to reclaim [[Fatehpur, Rajasthan|Fatehpur]].<ref name=":1" /><br />
<br />
==Death==<br />
He died in 1754 and was succeeded by his son [[Nahar Singh of Sikar|Nahar Singh]].<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
== Legacy ==<br />
When his half-brother, [[Chand Singh of Sikar|Chand Singh]], ascended the throne of [[Sikar (estate)|Sikar]], he ordered the removal of Samrath and his descendants' names from the family genealogy due to Samrath's involvement in the deaths of their half-brothers, Kirat Singh and Medh Singh.<ref name=":0" /><br />
