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

Maharana Sāngā.
Sāngā, ¹ about A.D. 1514, regained Idar,
expelling Bhar Mal, who appealed for help
to Sultan Muzaffar ² of Gujarāt. The
Sultan at the time was on the borders
of Malwa watching developments in that
country. When the envoys of Bhar Mal
reached Muzaffar, he sent Nizam-ul-mulk
with an army to reinstate Bhar Mal on the
gadi of Idar. The Mirat-i-sikandari says
that "in A.D. 1517, Rai Mal fought with
the Gujarāt armies and was sometimes defeat-
ed and sometimes victorious."³ Ferishta
says that Rai Mal was defeated and that he
retired to the hilly tract of Bijanagar.⁴
Nizam-ul-mulk after reinstating Bhar Mal
on the gadi of Idar, went in pursuit of Rai
Mal. Rai Mal issued from the hills and
attacked the Gujarāt army. In the battle that
took place, Nizam-ul-mulk was severely
defeated⁵ and his best officers and soldiers
