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

CHAPTER I. ————— Maharana Sāngā. Maharana Sangram Singh, popularly called Rana Sanga, was one of the greatest of the Maharanas of Mewar. It was during his reign that Mewar reached the zenith of its power and pros- perity. Sanga "was the kallas (pinnacle) of Mewar's glory." He was the acknowledged leader of the Hindu kings and chiefs of Western India. He is styled Hindupat, or the "Chief of the Hindus." Bābur, the founder of the Turk power in India, says in his Memoirs that Rana Sāngā was the most powerful sovereign in Hindustan when he invaded it, and that "he attained his present high eminence by his own valour and sword."¹ Eighty thousand horse, 7 Rajas of the highest rank, 9 Raos and ¹ Erskine's Memoirs of Bābur, page 312. 1
