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

Maharana Sāngā: Rūpnagar, descended from Rai Mal's sons, Shankar Singh and Samant Singh respectively, are amongst the 32 sardars (second-class nobles) of Mewar. Having restored order in Godwar, Prithviraj appointed the Ojha and one Solanki Rai Mal, to the civil and military governments of the province. During the absence of Sāngā and the banishment of Prithviraj, Jai Mal was looked upon as the heir to the throne. The fame of the beauty of Tara Bai, daughter of Rao Surtan of Badnor, having reached Jai Mal's ears, he became desirous of obtaining her hand. Rao Surtan was of the Solanki tribe, the lineal descendant of the famed Balhara kings of Anhalwara. Thence expelled by the arms of Alauddin Khilji in the thirteenth century, they migrated to Central India, and obtained possession of Tonk-Toda and its lands on the Banās, which from remote times had been occupied (perhaps founded) by the Taks, and hence bore the name of Tak- sillanagar, familiarly Takitpur and Toda. 24
