Sangrama, destined to fall on the field of battle, was one of the greatest of the princes of Chitor. 'Eighty thousand horse, seven Rajas of the highest rank, nine Rāos, and one hundred and four chieftains bearing the titles of Rāwal and Rāwat, with five hundred war elephants, followed him into the field. The princes of Mārwār and Amber did him homage, and the Rāos of Gwalior, Ajmer, Sikrī, Rāisen, Kālpī, Chanderī, Bundī, Gāgraun, Rāmpura, and Ābū served him as tributaries or held of him in chief¹.' Sangrama, like some of his predecessors, is credited with victories for which there is no historical warrant over the king of Delhi, Ibrāhīm Lodī, but he profited by the weakness and distractions of his enemies to extend and secure his frontiers, and it was he who, as already described, defeated and captured Mahmūd II of Mālwa, whose army contained a contingent placed at his disposal by the Sultan of Gujarāt, so that the victor was able to boast that he had defeated the allied forces of two Muslim kings².
