c8.33

In his defence against the forces of ‘Alāuddīn Hammīr was helped by Rao Randhīr, an uncle and subbordinate of the Rāna. Two princes of Chittor, Kanh and Balansi also came to the help of their uncle Hammīr, but Sarjan Sah, a merchant of the Sharnoji (Bania) sect of Buddhists, promised ‘Alāuddīn help in the capture of the fort. Sharnoji was inimical to the Rajput prince and he made up his mind to avenge the death of his father at the hands of the Rāna.
