c15.s2.1

We have already referred to the strength and influence of Rana Sāngā of Mewar in an earlier context. Supreme as he was in the whole of Rajasthan, Sāngā had also extended his influence in the decaying State of Malwa by taking up the cause of Medinī Rai. But the Lodīs had also been casting longing looks on the territories of this neighbouring State. They had already occupied Chanderi and Narwar and had missed the acquisition of Ranthambhor by a narrow margin. Thus both the Lodīs and the Sisodiyās had their eyes on Malwa and a conflict between them was inevitable.
