No sooner, however, had Kumbha reached
Kumbhalgarh than Shams Khan, instead of
demolishing, began to strengthen the fortifica-
tions of Nagor. This brought Kumbha on the
scene again with a large army. Shams Khan
was driven out of Nagor, which passed into
Kumbha's possession. The Maharana now
demolished the fortifications of Nagor and
thus carried out his long-cherished design. He took away from the treasury of Shams
Khan a large store of precious stones, jewels
and other valuable things. The Eklinga Mahatmya composed during Kumbha s lifetime,
says that he " defeated the King of the Shakas
(Mussalmans), put to flight Mashiti (Muja-
hid ?), slew the heroes of Nagpur (Nagor), des-
troyed 1 the fort, filled up the moat round the
fort, captured elephants, imprisoned Shaka
women and punished countless Mussalmans.
He gained a victory over the King of
Gujrat, burnt the city 2 (Nagor) with all the
mosques therein, liberated twelve lakhs of
cows from the Moslems, made the land a
pasture for cows and gave Nagor for a time
to Brahmans."
The Chitorgarh Kirtistambha Inscription repeats
these facts, and adds that he destroyed " the great
mosque built by Sultan Firoz, which showed Moslems
the way to Nagor" (verse 19). Verse 22 says "he
uprooted the Mussahmm tree of Nagor and destroyed it
with all its mosques."
He " burnt Mallaranyapur,
Sinhapuri, and Ratnpur and destroyed seve-
ral kings." 1 He killed the enemy and took
Mandowar 1 (Mandor). He conquered Amra-
dadri (Amber) and won the battle of Kotra and took Mandalkar (Mandalgarh). He
took Giripur. He conquered Sarangpur,
taking "numberless Turk women prisoners
and humbled the pride of Muhammad, its
ruler, who had slain his master and become
king of the place."
