Again, in 1568, the Emperor Akbar attacked, and this time he found the fated city in evil case, for Oodi Singh, the Rana, for whom in infancy his nurse had sacrificed her own child, was a degenerate son of his race. He left Chitor to be defended by his lieutenants Jeimul and Putta. In the first "saka" by Alla, twelve crowned heads defended the "crimson banner" to the death.
When Jeimul fell at the Gate of the Sun, the command devolved upon Putta of Kailwa, a lad of sixteen. His mother commanded him to don "the saffron robe," then, with him and his young bride, she fell full armed upon the foe, and the heroic trio died before the eyes of the war-worn garrison.
