The main reason for Rana Sangas involvement in these battles was to reinstate Rai Mal to his rightful throne and to weaken the growing power of the Gujarat Sultanate.

In 1517 Rai Mal with the help of Rana Sanga[1] was able to successfully defeat Muzzafar Shah II and retake his kingdom.

When Sanga came to the throne, the Gujarat Sultanate was at the meridian of its power and prosperity under Muzaffar Shah II.

Rai Mal on growing up to manhood claimed his patrimony with the assistance of Maharana Sanga,[citation needed] in A.D. 1514 he regained Idar, expelling Bhar Mal, who appealed for help to Sultan Muzaffar Shah II of Gujarat Sultanate.
