His son was Late Maharana Rudradutt Sinhji Vaghela of Sanand. His son and the present king of Sanand is Maharana Jaishiv Sinhji Vaghela of Sanand. He has a son who is 18 years old and the present yuvraj Dhruv Sinh Vaghela of Sanand and a daughter Katayayini Sinh Vaghela of Sanand who is 15 years old.
Pandit Jasraj frequently visits Sanand. Historically this place is related to the Pandavas also. When Arjuna was coming back from Godhavi (a nearby village of sanand), it is said that he took rest at this place and felt an immense pleasure. Thus the name of the city came Sa (with) + Anand (pleasure)
