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

Maharana Sāngā.
Suraj Mal having left for Sadri. One
buffalo had fallen and a goat was about to
follow when the prince turned his sword on
Sarangdeva. The combat was desperate,
but Prithviraj was the victor, and the head
of the traitor was placed as an offering on
the altar of Time (Kali). The place was
plundered and the town of Bāturro (Batarda)
was recovered.
Having done with Sarangdeva, Prithvi-
raj started for Sadri to despatch Suraj Mal
after Sarangdeva. Suraj Mal having reach-
ed Sadri, stopped there only to fulfil his
threat that "he would make over the lands
to those stronger than the king." Among
others he gave 12 villages of Debari, includ-
ing Billano and Banslo to Brahmins and
bards, and was about to abandon Mewar for
ever when Prithviraj arrived. He was
received in due form. Suraj Mal's wife
placed poisoned food before the prince.
Suraj Mal came to know of this, but not
knowing which plate contained the poison,
he was unable to remove it. He therefore
sat down to join Prithviraj in the repast.
