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

Maharana Sāngā.
domination of the less civilized Afghans and
the highlanders of Central Asia. Compare
this with the battles fought in Europe in the
great war raging there now. The battle of the
Marne lasted four months, and the loss of life
in this one battle far exceeded the entire
armies engaged in the battle between Bābur
and Sāngā ; but what is the net result of the
victory over the enemy ? A few thousand
yards of "No Man’s Land," with hardly
any effect on the final issue of the war.
Victory remained with Bābur, who
assumed the title of Ghazi. He advanced to
Byana, where he arrived after three days,
and held a council of his nobles as to the
advisability of following up the victory by
an invasion of the Rana’s dominions. Bābur’s
resources, however, were so crippled and the
dread of meeting Sāngā in the field a second
time was so great, that the approach of the
hot season was pleaded as an excuse and
the enterprise was given up.¹
¹ "That Bābur respected and dreaded his foe, we
have the best proof in his not risking another battle
with him."—Tod's Rajasthan, Vol. I, p. 307.
