The earliest inscription of the time of his son and succes- sor Mokal, is dated the Pos Sud 6, S. 1478 (A.D. 1421). This shows that Rana Lakhsh Singh died sometime after the year A.D. 1419 and before A.D. 1421, in which year Mokal the youngest of Lakha's sons ², was reigning in Mewar. ¹ Muni Jinvijaya's Prachin Jain Lekh Sangrah, part II. p. 221, inscription No. 370.
