महाराणा कुम्भा (हरविलास सारदा - मेवाड़ साम्राज्य के अद्वितीय विजेता, निर्माता व विद्वान्)

Maharana Kumbhá. The Vir · Vinod says $^1$ that the Ráthods approached the queenmother Sobhagyadevi and in the interests of the Maharana, protested against Rawat Chonda's return to Chitor. The queen, however, replied that it did not look well that the gates of Chitor should be closed against one who had made such noble sacrifices for his country. The old Rao of Mandor now began to scent danger. Fearing surprise, he sent his sons Jodhá (who later founded Jodhpur), Kándhal and others to live in the taleti, at the foot of the hill on which the fortress is built and told them to be always on their guard and never to come up to the fort even if they should receive a message in his name.$^2$ Prompted by Chondá, the Maharana asked Ran Mal to call Jodhá and Kándhal to reside in the fortress, but the Rao made some excuse or other.$^3$ The Sisodia nobles of Mewar now decided to rid the fortress of the Rathods. $^1$ Vir Vinod, Vol. I., p. 321. $^2$ Nainsi's khyat, p. 28 (Benares Edition). $^3$ Ibid. 63
