The Rajput Wife of Emperor Akbar

I am very curious to know about the Rajput wife of Mughal emperor Akbar. As per Vincent A Smith's 'Akbar the Great Mogul', Akbar's wife was the eldest daughter of Raja Bihar Mal of Amber (Jan 1562) while Jahangir says that "The first of the Rajput Chieftains who became attached to the government of my father Akbar was Raja Bharmal (or Raja Bihar Mal?), the grandfather of Raja Man Singh. As a mark of distinguished favour, my father placed the daughter of Raja Bharmal in his own palace, and finally espoused her to me (1586). It was by this princess, I had my son Khusrau." (Jahangirnama, Translated by Major David Price)
