महाराणा सांगा: द हिन्दूपत (हरविलास सारदा - मेवाड़ साम्राज्य एवं खानवा महायुद्ध इतिहास)

Maharana Sāngā.
By this victory all that part of Malwa
which had been usurped by Muhammad Shah
(Sahib Khan), younger brother of Sultan
Mahmud Khilji II of Mandu, during his
rebellion against his brother, and had subse-
quently been taken possession of by Sultan
Sikander Lodi, father of Sultan Ibrahim,
now fell into the hands of the Maharana.
Chanderi was one of the many places
which fell into the hands of the Maha-
rana,¹ who bestowed it on Medni Rai.
his elephants were visible, and that after the
battle he sent a message reproaching Mian Maruf,
saying : "It is a hundred pities that 30,000 horse-
men should have been defeated by so few Hindus"
(Elliot's History of India, Vol. V, page 19). It further
states that while the Maharana's army was rejoicing
and amusing itself after the victory, Mian Husein,
now joined by Mian Maruf, prefidiously fell upon
it and routed it. The Tarikhi Daudi and Wakiat
Mushtaki, however, make no mention of this treache-
rous attack, which in view of the fact that
these men had only a small following of their own,
can hardly be believed to have taken place. The
fact that the Maharana obtained as a result of the
war a large part of Malwa and tracts up to Byana,
belies this second attack. And the fact that Sultan
Ibrahim Lodi had Mian Husein assassinated shortly
after at Chanderi and gave rewards to the assassins,
further negatives the attack.
