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

Maharana Sāngā.
the dictates of honour, he was his superior
in circumspection, perseverance, judgment,
and above all, in quickness to take advantage
of every occasion favourable to him.
Defeat after defeat, disaster following
disaster made Bābur wideawake, circumspect
and artful. They matured his judgment,
gave him a richer knowledge of human nature
and prepared him to meet all emergencies.
On the other hand, unbroken success after
coming to the throne, victory following
victory, gave Sāngā self-confidence, courage
and hope, enhanced his prestige and glory,
but made him minimize difficulties and neglect
taking proper precautions. It impaired his
power of properly appreciating the meaning
and the bearing of incidents and attendant
the Kesaria Charan Haridas after the victory over
Mahmud Khilji. Haridas, however, presented the fort-
ress again to the Maharana. The following verses by
Haridas are extant in Rajputana :
मांडवगढ गर्जर ग्रहमुके
रेणवां दीध चत्रगढराज
Thou, O! Rana, didst allow the kings of Mandu and
Gujarāt to return home, and gavest away the fortress
of Chitor to Renwa Charan.
Also दिध चित्रकोट कवियां खुमाणा,
दिज विजई नैं रीझदिया ॥
