Sloka 183 : “ While the sun continues to warm the earth, so long may the fame of Kumbha Rana endure. While the icy mountains (*Himagiri*) of the north rest upon their base, or so long as Himachal is stationary, while ocean continues to form a garland round the neck of Avani (the earth), so long may Kumbha’s glory be perpetuated ! May the varied history of his sway and the splendour of his dominion last [762] for ever ! Seven years had elapsed beyond fifteen hundred when Rana Kumbha placed this ringlet on the forehead of Chitor. Sparkling like the rays of the rising sun, is the *toran*, rising like the bridegroom of the land.
