188b.] Kavi Raj Sliyamal Das —On the Prithi Pdj Pdsd. 25 
Now, I proceed to prove the ‘ Rasa ’ to have been written after 
S. 1640. 
The author has praised the kings of Mewar very highly in the name 
of Rawal Samar Singh—whom in one place, where pronouncing benedic¬ 
tions, he calls by the following epithets :— 
(a) TIV ; 
(b) WJi; 
(c) ; 
(d) ?!■ 31*?! ; 
(e) ; 
(/) '^^^ 1 ^ 11 ” 
These, when translated into English, would stand respectively thus: — 
(a) (Like the god) Kedarnath for (removing the stain of) those 
who are charged with anything disgraceful; 
(b) (Like the sacred shrine of) Prayag (the modern Allahabad) 
for the sinful; 
(c) Yanarasi [correctly ‘Varanasi’ the modern Benares] or ‘the 
Sacred City of the Hindus ’ for those who are charged with murder—one 
of the deadly sins ; 
(d) The Ganges for drunkards or proud kings TR]. 
(e) Who liberated (the) Sultan after once taking him prisoner. 
(/) Who crushed (the) Sultan’s pride. 
All these titles allude to Maha Rana Sangram Singh of Mewar. The 
fourth epithet (d) suggests that the other Rajas yielded to the Muham¬ 
madan Sultans and prided themselves, also that they indulged in wine. 
The Rands of Mewar did not take wine—hence the title jfjT (Ganges), 
for the purification of those Rajas, is given to them (Rands) with a taunt 
to the latter. 
The fifth title (e) alludes to the fact of Maha Rand Sangrdm Singh’s 
having captured Sultdn Mahmud of Mdlwa in A. H. 924 (= A. D. 
1518 = S. 1574), and afterwards setting him free. 
The last title (/) alludes to the kings of Gujardt, whom the Maha 
Rdna had defeated and plundered their territory. 
Several other poets of the period have described the Rands of Me- 
war similarly:—
