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

Maharana Sāngā.
Mewar. The Maharana gave the parganah
of Jāwar for maintenance to Ramā Bai, who,
with her savings, built the temple of Rama-
swami and the lake Ramkund at Jāwar
(Yogini Pattan), the inauguration ceremony
of which took place on Chaitra Sukla 7th
(Sunday) S. 1554¹ (A. D. 1497). She also
built the Damodar temple to Vishnu at
Kumbhalgarh and a tank to the south
of Kundeshwar.
become insane, throw dust on his head and become a
slave of the Turks (Mussalmans.) Mandlik returned
home and Padmini went to Kedar in the Himalayas,
and like the Pandavas gave herself up to the eternal
snows. Nagdevi repaired to Sultan Mahmud Begara
and told him that she had bestowed Girnār on
him. The Sultan, who had not been able to take the
stronghold of Girnār owing to its great strength, asked
for some sign of assurance of his success. The Devi said
that on waking up the next morning he would find
coloured rice in his turban. Finding the prophecy come
true, the Sultan started to attack Girnār and laid siege to
the fortress. Mandlik became mad and came and
handed over the keys of the fort to the Sultan and
embraced Islam. The fortress was not taken, however,
till a thousand Rajputs who defended it bravely were all
slain. This story shows that Mandlik by his misconduct
displeased a Charan, with whose assistance, Mahmud
Begara took Girnār, and that Ramā Bai left Girnār
when she found that Mandlik was not behaving himself.
