Book's First Pagefragment of a soldier’, having the marks of 80 wounds on his body from sword or lance and being crippled in one leg, one eye and arm, Rana Sangram had remarkable military ability. He was generally successful in his wars against Mahmud Khalji II of Malwa and Muzaffar Shah II of Gujarat. He was also engaged in hostilities with Ibrahim Lodhi of Delhi and scored creditable victories. The ascendancy of Mewar was established over several other Rajput principalities and its boundaries were extended in different directions.
