However, he accomplished 1 so much grandeur during his reign that his glory surpassed the boundaries of countries and time, turning him into an immortal personality. He, along with his kingdom, became a synonym for valour 2, sacrifice and patriotism. Mewar had been a leading Rajput kingdom even before Maharana Pratap occupied the throne. ings of Mewar, with the cooperation of their nobles and subjects, had established such traditions in the kingdom, as augmented 3 their magnificence despite the hurdles of having a smaller area under their command and less population. There did come a few thorny 4 occasions when the flag of the kingdom seemed sliding down. Their flag once again heaved high in the sky, thanks to the gallantry and brilliance of the people of Mewar. 2 The destiny of Mewar was good in the sense that barring 5 a few kings, most of the rulers were competent and patriotic. The glorious tradition of the kingdom almost continued for 1500 years since its establishment, right from the reign of Bappa Rawal. In fact, only 60 years before Maharana Pratap, Rana Sanga drove the kingdom to the pinnacle 6 of fame. His reputation 1. accomplished achieved; 2. valour bravery; 3. augmented increased; 4. thorny causing difficulty; 5. barring except for; 6. pinnacle the most important or successful part of something. 1
