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

CHAPTER IV.
Kumbha ascends the throne.
Maharana Kumbha ascended the throne of
Mewar at Chitor in 1433 A.D. His first care
was to punish the traitors Chacha and Maira
and their fellow conspirators. This involved
military operations and a war with Mandu.
When the news of the tragedy of Mokal’s
death reached Rao Ran Mal, the brother of
Mokal’s mother Hans Bai, this valiant Rathod
king, remembering the debt of gratitude
he owed to Mokal, with whose help he had
recovered the throne of Marwar, threw off the
turban he was wearing, put on a phenta
(a piece of cloth generally worn when in
mourning) and swore that he would put the
turban on his head only when he had avenged
Mokal by slaying his murderers. Leaving
Mandor he came to Chitor, showed Nazar to the
Maharana and with 500 horsemen started in
pursuit of the traitors towards the Pái hills.
