महाराणा कुम्भा (हरविलास सारदा - मेवाड़ साम्राज्य के अद्वितीय विजेता, निर्माता व विद्वान्)

Maharana Kumbhá.
The Vir · Vinod says $^1$ that the Ráthods
approached the queenmother Sobhagyadevi
and in the interests of the Maharana,
protested against Rawat Chonda's return to
Chitor. The queen, however, replied that it did
not look well that the gates of Chitor should
be closed against one who had made such
noble sacrifices for his country.
The old Rao of Mandor now began to scent
danger. Fearing surprise, he sent his sons
Jodhá (who later founded Jodhpur), Kándhal
and others to live in the taleti, at the foot of
the hill on which the fortress is built and
told them to be always on their guard and
never to come up to the fort even if they
should receive a message in his name.$^2$
Prompted by Chondá, the Maharana asked
Ran Mal to call Jodhá and Kándhal to reside
in the fortress, but the Rao made some excuse
or other.$^3$ The Sisodia nobles of Mewar now
decided to rid the fortress of the Rathods.
