  The story of Pabuji
Deval, to whom he had promised his protection, stopped him on the way and tried to persuade him to stay, or at least to leave some of his men behind, but he refused, promising that if she needed him he would come instantly, even if he were sitting inside the wedding-pavilion.
They reached Umarkot, and the preparations for the wedding went ahead smoothly; but before the ceremony itself was even complete Deval arrived in the form of a bird to say that Khici had stolen her cattle.
Buro's wife had a terrible dream in which she saw the massacre of the Rathors; and when she awoke the news was confirmed by a camel-rider, who brought her the turban of her dead husband.

  Persian Literature in Translation - The History of India, Volume 1: section 155
The transaction mentioned in the text shows the early period at which the Hindús began to disgrace themselves by their inter­marriages with Muhammadans; and the high repute of the beauty of the Sodha women has served to maintain that practice in full vigour to the present time.
At the period treated of, we find the Sodhas in possession of 'Umarkot, of which the name and consequence have been subse­quently much increased, independant of its importance as a border fortress, by being the birth place of the renowned Akbar.
The Ráná of the Sodhas was expelled from 'Umarkot by the Tálpúrs of Sind; and the present representative of the family, who still retains his title of Ráná, resides at Chor, a few miles north-east of his former capital, shorn of all power, and hard pressed for the means of subsistence.
