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

Maharana Sāngā. Rai Mal did not long survive the death of the heroic Prithviraj. He died in Vicrama Sambat 1566 (A.D. 1508), and Sangram Singh ascended the throne of Mewar on (Jeth Sud 5th, S. 1566)¹ 4th May A.D. 1508, in the renowned fortress of Chitor. Sangram Singh was born on Baisakh Bad 9th, S. 1539 ² and was therefore 27 years old when he took his seat on the cushion of Bappa Rawal. ³ When Maharana Sāngā came to the throne, Rajputana as a whole was much stronger politically than it had been since the advent of the Afghan power in India. After the Chauhāns of Ajmer, the Guihlots of Mewar rose to great power. Even in Kumbha's time ( A.D. 1433-1468 ) the Guihlots were the only powerful Rajput Kingdom in Rajputana. The Hārās were the vassals of Mewar, and the Kachhwahas ¹ Mehta Nainsi's Chronicles. Mehta Nainsi says that Rai Mal had a son named Jassa, who was given to pleasure and sport, and the Sardars passed him over and placed Sangram Singh on the throne. ² Ibid. ³ Bābur had been four years king of Kabul when Sāngā became Maharana. 46
