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

Maharana Sāngā. Mewar. The Maharana gave the parganah of Jāwar for maintenance to Ramā Bai, who, with her savings, built the temple of Rama- swami and the lake Ramkund at Jāwar (Yogini Pattan), the inauguration ceremony of which took place on Chaitra Sukla 7th (Sunday) S. 1554¹ (A. D. 1497). She also built the Damodar temple to Vishnu at Kumbhalgarh and a tank to the south of Kundeshwar. become insane, throw dust on his head and become a slave of the Turks (Mussalmans.) Mandlik returned home and Padmini went to Kedar in the Himalayas, and like the Pandavas gave herself up to the eternal snows. Nagdevi repaired to Sultan Mahmud Begara and told him that she had bestowed Girnār on him. The Sultan, who had not been able to take the stronghold of Girnār owing to its great strength, asked for some sign of assurance of his success. The Devi said that on waking up the next morning he would find coloured rice in his turban. Finding the prophecy come true, the Sultan started to attack Girnār and laid siege to the fortress. Mandlik became mad and came and handed over the keys of the fort to the Sultan and embraced Islam. The fortress was not taken, however, till a thousand Rajputs who defended it bravely were all slain. This story shows that Mandlik by his misconduct displeased a Charan, with whose assistance, Mahmud Begara took Girnār, and that Ramā Bai left Girnār when she found that Mandlik was not behaving himself. ¹ Inscription on Ramkund at Jawar of Chaitra Sud 7th, S. 1554.
