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

Maharana Sāngā. Suraj Mal having left for Sadri. One buffalo had fallen and a goat was about to follow when the prince turned his sword on Sarangdeva. The combat was desperate, but Prithviraj was the victor, and the head of the traitor was placed as an offering on the altar of Time (Kali). The place was plundered and the town of Bāturro (Batarda) was recovered. Having done with Sarangdeva, Prithvi- raj started for Sadri to despatch Suraj Mal after Sarangdeva. Suraj Mal having reach- ed Sadri, stopped there only to fulfil his threat that "he would make over the lands to those stronger than the king." Among others he gave 12 villages of Debari, includ- ing Billano and Banslo to Brahmins and bards, and was about to abandon Mewar for ever when Prithviraj arrived. He was received in due form. Suraj Mal's wife placed poisoned food before the prince. Suraj Mal came to know of this, but not knowing which plate contained the poison, he was unable to remove it. He therefore sat down to join Prithviraj in the repast. 40
