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

CHAPTER I.
———
THE GUHILOT FAMILY OF MEWAR.
MAHARANA KUMBHAKARANA or Kumbhá, as
he is popularly called, was one of the greatest
of the sovereigns who have ruled in Rajputana.
The Surya Vamsha is the most famous of
the ruling families of India, and the most
celebrated of its many branches is the Guhilot
family, which has ruled Mewar without a
break for nearly fourteen centuries. It has
produced some of the greatest and most
powerful kings that have made the name of
Rajputana resplendent in the annals of India.
Inspired by the highest patriotism, ever up-
holding Dharma though surrounded by power-
ful foes and faced with almost insuperable
difficulties, enduring without flinching untold
suffering, and overcoming all by a self-sacri-
fice and heroism which have wrung the
highest praise from their bitterest foes, they
have made the pages of history a continuous
record of high inspiration and noble purpose.
