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

Maharana Kumbha.
Chauhán Jassá, Harbhám Sindhal, Visaldeva
Parmar and the son of Firoz Khan of Nagor
fled. Jodhá recovered Mandor. In a few
days, Jheà also seized Sojat and took up his
abode there. Chondá would have invaded
Marwar to take vair (revenge)—as two sons .
of his had fallen while Mandor had lost only
one chief, Ran Mal—but abstained on learn-
ing that the Maharana forbade it. Conscious,
however, of the superior power of Mewar,
Jodha made peace with the Maharana. We find
that Jodha's daughter, Sringardevi, was married
to Maharana Kumbha's son Raimal.¹ The
inscription in the baodi (stepped well) built
by Sringardevi in A. D. 1504 in Ghosundi,
12 miles from Chitor, describes her as Rao
Jodha's daughter and wife of prince Raimal.
Thus after 7 years occupation² of it by the
Maharana, Jodha won back Mandor by the
sword about A.D. 1445.

79-82.
² The following verse supports the fact that the Maha-
rana occupied Marwar for seven years:—
थाणो जाय मंडावर थट्यो जोरकर लखपत
कियो राज चूंडे नव कोटा सात वरस तांई सीसोद
"Lakhpat (Maharana) established a thana (military post)
at Mandor; Chonda Sisodia ruled Marwar (Nava Kota) for
seven years." See Vir Vinod, Vol. I, p. 324.
