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.
Major Popham, one of the best of the local officers, was accordingly sent to assist the Rana and stir up a confederation of Jat and Rajput powers to aid against the Musalman-Mahratta alliance by which British interests were threatened.
It could all be easily arranged, the Rana yielding to pressure to save Mewar, and dreading the sin of being guilty of the death of his daughter. Even the Gulab is like a Princess of the Sesodias like a Rajputni of the highest caste." "Indeed she is, Captain Sahib, the quality of breeding never lies."
If the Rana would sign this paper also as an assurance of friendship, to be shown the Pindari Chief, it would help greatly." "I understand, Colonel. You wish me to get that from the Rana?"

"Thou sayest so, but how know I that Hunsa is not in thy hand, and that thou didst not prepare the way for the killing?
His Majesty the Rana loves me as a cheetah loves his trainer. He's an intractable rascal." "They grease the wheels of the independent native States with intrigue," Farrell explained. "I know from sore experience. And your Rajput is the deepest of the lot. I don't envy Raikes, here."
They salute one another by laying the hand on the breast, making a bow, and inquiring, Kona lafia? ki ka ky kee Fo fo da rana: How do you do? I hope you are well. How have you passed the heat of the day? The last question corresponds in their climate to the circumstantiality, with what our country folks inquire about a good night's rest.
His son, Partáp Singh, inherited all his obstinacy, and many of the noble qualities of his grandfather, the famous Sanga Ráná.
Meanwhile Ambaji Inglia was prevented from rendering aid to his master by the persistence of the Rathors of Jodhpur, who put him to flight after an obstinate engagement.
