He lost an eye, an arm and had about 88 wounds on his body. He established his supremacy over almost all the Rajput states in Rajasthan. Rana Sanga successfully fought against the rulers of Gujarat and Malwa. He captured the ruler of Malwa who was wounded and stayed at Chittor till his wounds were healed. He also defeated the Delhi Sultan Ibrahim Lodi in 1519. It is said that he was one of the Indian rulers and nobles who invited Babur to invade India. It is not clear whether any understanding was reached between Babur and Rana Sanga. He was defeated by Babur in the battle of Khanua in 1527.
