Rawal Mallinath is a 14th-century folk hero of Rajasthan.〔Sir William Wilson Hunter, James Sutherland Cotton, Sir Richard Burn, Great Britain. India Office, Sir William Stevenson Meyer, ''Imperial gazetteer of India'' - Volume 17, page 93〕 He was the eldest son of Rao Salkhaji, the ruler of Mehwanagar in Barmer District. He and his wife, Rani Rupade, are revered as folk saints in Western Rajasthan. ==History== Rawal Mallinath's descendants are the oldest among all houses of Rathores in Rajasthan. Rawal Mallinath was the eldest son of Rawal Salkhaji. Salkhaji's other two sons were Viramdeo and Jaitmal.〔http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~princelystates/states/j/jasol.html〕 Rao Salkhaji died when Mallinath was 12 years old. The houses of Jodhpur, Bikaner, Ratlam, Sitamau, Sailana, Idar, and Alirajpur trace their lineage to Viramdeo. The houses of Gudamalani and Kelwa trace their lineage from Jaitmal.〔Dhananajaya Singh, The house of Marwar〕 For more than 100 years, the Rathores of Khed struggled to establish their rule around Khed. Rawal Mallinath was born in Gopdi near Pachpadra. He was named Mallinath by his father. Rawal Mallinath died at Dodiali. His wife Rupade became a satimata with him. The statue of Rawal Mallinath was established in Gopdi village by Kunwar Manohardas, son of the ruler of Jaisalmer Rawal Kalyandas, on Shravan vadi 14, 1675, since Manohardas's mother was from Mahecha clan, and Mallinath was revered by Manohardas. Rawal Mallinath is viewed as a warrior-saint, and songs of his heroic valour and saintly attitude are still sung by folk singers of western Rajasthan. His wife Rani Rupade was also a saint – bhajans composed by her are still popular in Western Rajasthan. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rawal Mallinath」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
