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

Maharana Kumbha. Mokal’s short reign of about 13 years—he came to the throne about the year 1420 A.D. and was assassinated in 1433 A.D.—was full of great events. He maintained the traditions of the House by inflicting a defeat on Muhammad Tughlaq, the king of Delhi, in the field of Raipur. Maharana Mokal “overran Sapādalaksha (Ajmer) territory and took Sāmbhar from the Sultan of Delhi.” The Kumbhalgarh Inscription of the time of Maha- rana Kumbha, dated Monday the 3rd of Novem- ber, 1460 A.D., says that “the ruler of Jalor (Jabalipur) trembled before him, and the King of Delhi became anxious about his territory.” A principality subordinate to Gujrat had been established at Nagor about 1404 A.D. by Shams Khan, who was succeeded by his son Firoz Khan. The Samiddheshwar Maha- deva Temple Inscription of Magh Sud 3rd, S. 1485 (A.D. 1429) says that “Maharana Mokal invaded Nagor and defeated Sultan Firoz Khan. Firoz Khan’s two sons, Modood and Masti and his numerous elephants were killed in the battle.” ¹ The Khan of Nagor accepted ¹ Mehta Naiusi’s Khyat, p. 26, foot note. 26
