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

Maharana Sāngā. Sāngā, ¹ about A.D. 1514, regained Idar, expelling Bhar Mal, who appealed for help to Sultan Muzaffar ² of Gujarāt. The Sultan at the time was on the borders of Malwa watching developments in that country. When the envoys of Bhar Mal reached Muzaffar, he sent Nizam-ul-mulk with an army to reinstate Bhar Mal on the gadi of Idar. The Mirat-i-sikandari says that "in A.D. 1517, Rai Mal fought with the Gujarāt armies and was sometimes defeat- ed and sometimes victorious."³ Ferishta says that Rai Mal was defeated and that he retired to the hilly tract of Bijanagar.⁴ Nizam-ul-mulk after reinstating Bhar Mal on the gadi of Idar, went in pursuit of Rai Mal. Rai Mal issued from the hills and attacked the Gujarāt army. In the battle that took place, Nizam-ul-mulk was severely defeated⁵ and his best officers and soldiers ¹ Bayley's Gujarāt, p. 252.
