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

Maharana Kumbha.
Mallinath had attained the position of a
Siddha, i.e. one who by his religious pieties
and practices had become perfect. Mallinath's
son Jugmal was also a hero$^1$ and his romantic
career is remembered to this day by the deeds
of chivalry he performed, and which are sung
throughout Rajputana.
Sihaji who died$^2$ on Kartik Vad 12, S.
1330 (A. D. 1273) was the son of Setkumar
Rathod and was succeeded by his son Asthān,
who was succeeded by Duhad, then Raipal,
then Kampal, after whom came Jalansi, then
Chhada and then Tida, followed by Sulkha
$^1$ Gindoli, the daughter of the ruler of Gujrat having
heard of the heroic deeds of Jugmal fell in love with him, and
Jugmal coming to know of it, brought away the girl, and
refused to restore her.
गींदोली बांधी गलै, जका न दे जगमाल
The ruler of Gujrat invaded Jugmal's territory but was
defeated and had to return discomfited. The popular couplet:—
बीबी पूछे खान ने, जग केता जगमाल
"The Begam asks the Khan 'how many Jugmals are
there in the world" (meaning that apparently the world is full
of them) shows the brave deeds of the Rajputs in the war.
This war is said to have continued for six months. A song
commemorating the love of Jugmal and Gindoli, Jugmal's
refusal to give up Gindoli, and his valorous deeds in the war
are sung in Rajputana, particularly accompanied by the Ghumar
dance.
$^2$ His Samadha (mausoleum) was built by his widow
