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

Maharana Kumbha.
The Bhatyáni asked him to cheer up, saying
the horses were all his. She sent for the
Ráwat and asked him to put certain valuables
in the Toshákháná; and when he unlocked
the room and went in to deposit the things,
the Thakuráni promptly shut the door
and locked him in. She then sent one
of her maids with Jodhá to the stables
with the message that the Ráwat had
ordered that the stables were at Jodhá's
disposal, and that the keepers were fully to
equip any horses that he wished to take
away. Jodhá picked out 140 of the best
steeds of Satráwá, mounted his Rajputs and
marched away. When he was gone the
Thakuráni unlocked the door of the Toshá-
kháná. Ráwat Lunkaran came out boiling
with rage, quarrelled with the Thakuráni,
scolded his Kámdárs and had the keepers of
the stables beaten, but could not get back
the horses.¹
¹ The following couplet refers to the incident :—
ज्यूं ज्यूं कहियो रावत लूणो ।
त्यूं त्यूं लड़े घणेरो खूणो ॥
