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

Maharana Sāngā. By this victory all that part of Malwa which had been usurped by Muhammad Shah (Sahib Khan), younger brother of Sultan Mahmud Khilji II of Mandu, during his rebellion against his brother, and had subse- quently been taken possession of by Sultan Sikander Lodi, father of Sultan Ibrahim, now fell into the hands of the Maharana. Chanderi was one of the many places which fell into the hands of the Maha- rana,¹ who bestowed it on Medni Rai. his elephants were visible, and that after the battle he sent a message reproaching Mian Maruf, saying : "It is a hundred pities that 30,000 horse- men should have been defeated by so few Hindus" (Elliot's History of India, Vol. V, page 19). It further states that while the Maharana's army was rejoicing and amusing itself after the victory, Mian Husein, now joined by Mian Maruf, prefidiously fell upon it and routed it. The Tarikhi Daudi and Wakiat Mushtaki, however, make no mention of this treache- rous attack, which in view of the fact that these men had only a small following of their own, can hardly be believed to have taken place. The fact that the Maharana obtained as a result of the war a large part of Malwa and tracts up to Byana, belies this second attack. And the fact that Sultan Ibrahim Lodi had Mian Husein assassinated shortly after at Chanderi and gave rewards to the assassins, further negatives the attack. ¹ Erskine's History of India, Vol. I, page 480. 62
