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

Maharana Kumbha,
Three other works on architecture by
Mandan's son Govind, are
उद्धारधोरणी, कलानिधि, द्वारदीपिका,
Mandan's brother Natha, wrote वास्तुमंजरी.
All these works are in existence at Udaipur
and were seen with Champalal, a descendant
of Mandan, by Prof. S. R. Bhandarkar, as
mentioned by him in his "Report of a Second
Tour in search of Sanskrit manuscripts in
Rajputana and Central India in 1905-6 A.D."
Maharana Kumbha himself wrote a treatise
on the art of building Kirtisthambhas (Towers
of Victory or Fame), based on principles of
Jaya and Aprajit, and had it engraved on stone
tablets and fixed in the lower part of the
Tower of Victory. A part of the first tablet,
found at Chitor and since deposited in the
Udaipur Museum, gives Maharana Kumbha-
karan's description of the characteristic
features of Towers according to Jaya and
Aprajit
