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

Maharana Kumbha.
The Khumbhalgarh Inscription of A.D.
1460, verse 198, and the Eklingji ¹ Temple
Inscription of A.D. 1488, sl. 131, both say
that Khshetra Singh invaded the land of the
Harās, broke and reduced to submission the
fortress of Mandalgarh, which according to the
Shringirishi Inscription of A.D. 1428, even
Allauddin Khilji was unable to touch.
Khshetra Singh attacked and defeated the
Sultans of Malwa and Gujrat. He defeated
Dilawar Khan Ghori, the first Sultan of Malwa
in a battle fought at Bakrole ² and destroyed
his army. Amin Shah ³ was the original
name of Sultan Dilawar Khan Ghori of
Malwa, vide. Rizaqulla Mushtaqi's Wakiat
Mushtaqi ⁴ and Roger's Tuzaki Jahangiri ⁵
Dilawar Khan's son's name before he succeeded
his father as Sultan of Malwa under the title
of Hoshang, was Alpkhan.
¹ Bhavanagar Inscriptions, p. 119.
² Bakrole was given by Rana Ari Singh as Jagir to Dhiraj
Singh, who named the place Hammirgarh, after Rana Ari
Singh's successor, Hammir Singh.
³ Some historians have been misled by Amin Shah
having become Humayun Shah in some manuscripts. This
explains Colonel Tod's statement that the Maharana defeated
Emperor Humayun at Bakrole.
