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

CHAPTER IV. Kumbha ascends the throne. Maharana Kumbha ascended the throne of Mewar at Chitor in 1433 A.D. His first care was to punish the traitors Chacha and Maira and their fellow conspirators. This involved military operations and a war with Mandu. When the news of the tragedy of Mokal’s death reached Rao Ran Mal, the brother of Mokal’s mother Hans Bai, this valiant Rathod king, remembering the debt of gratitude he owed to Mokal, with whose help he had recovered the throne of Marwar, threw off the turban he was wearing, put on a phenta (a piece of cloth generally worn when in mourning) and swore that he would put the turban on his head only when he had avenged Mokal by slaying his murderers. Leaving Mandor he came to Chitor, showed Nazar to the Maharana and with 500 horsemen started in pursuit of the traitors towards the Pái hills. 35
