The original title of the Gahlot princes of Mewār was Rāwal, but early in the thirteenth century Rāhup of Mewār captured Mokal the Parihār prince of Mandor, who bore the title of Rānā, and carried him to Sesoda, the temporary capital of the Gahlots, where he compelled him to forgo the title of Rānā and assumed it himself, instead of that of Rāwal. It was he, too, who changed the name of his clan from Gahlot to Sesodia, derived from his temporary capital.
