Rāna Kūmbha, A.D. 1433-68.—Kumbha succeeded his father in S. 1475 (A.D. 1419) ;¹ nor did any symptom of dissatisfaction appear to usher in his reign, which was one of great success amidst no common difficulties. The bardic historians¹ do as much honour to the Marwar prince, who had made common cause with their sovereign in revenging the death of his father, as if it had involved the security of his crown; but this was a precautionary measure of the prince, who was induced thus to act from several motives, and, above all, in accordance with usage, which stigmatizes the refusal of aid when demanded: besides ‘ Kumbha was the nephew of Marwar.’
