महाराणा सांगा: द हिन्दूपत (हरविलास सारदा - मेवाड़ साम्राज्य एवं खानवा महायुद्ध इतिहास)

CHAPTER XII.
SĀNGĀ AND BĀBUR.
THE accession of Sultan Ibrahim Lodi to
the throne of Delhi in A.D. 1517, showed
the weak points of the Afghan Sultanate of
Hindustan, which was a congeries of several
virtually independent Pathan principalities
and jagirs.
The cruelty of Ibrahim filled his reign
with rebellions by the nobles of the kingdom.
The Sultan possessed neither the tact to
control them, nor the ability to crush them.
At length, Daulat Khan Lodi, the governor
of Lahore, invited Bābur, the king of Kabul,
to take possession of Hindustan. Bābur had
ere this made unsuccessful attempts to take
the Panjab. He says in his autobiogra-
phy that Maharana Sāngā had also sent
him a message to the effect that should he
(Bābur) advance and take Delhi, he (Sāngā)
would take Agra from the Lodi king.
