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

Maharana Sāṅgā. at Alwar, espoused the cause of Mahmud Lodi, a brother of Sultan Ibrahim. The confederates appealed to the Maharana to drive the Turks out of India. They acknowledged him as their suzerain and promised to govern the country occupied by them as his feudatories. Bābur, who had sent Humayun against the Eastern Afghan Confederacy, on hearing that Sāngā was preparing an army to march against Byana, wrote to Humayun to return with all available troops to Agra. Humayun not meeting with strong opposition in the east, after taking Jaunpur, returned to Agra and joined Bābur. Afraid of the great power of Sāngā, Bābur now wished to conciliate the western Afghans, and in order to gain over their leader, Hasan Khan of Mewat, released his son Naharkhan, who had been taken prisoner at Panipat after the defeat of Ibrahim Lodi. Bābur sent him to his father with a dress of honour and an earnest request to espouse his cause. 127
