He was the heir-apparent until he renounced his right in favour of the heir born from Hansa Bai, the Rathore princess who was married to Maharana Lakha.
[1] Ranmal Rathore, the eldest son of Rao Chunda of Marwar was discontented with his fate in Mandore, as his father made Kanha as the heir apparent.
But he gave his younger brother Raghavdev the responsibility to look after Mokal and keep an eye on the influence of Rathores under Ranmal, over the state administration of Mewar.
The grandson of Hansa Bai and Lakha Singh, Rana Kumbha ascended the throne after Mokal was killed by Chacha and Mera.
Chunda's descendants are known as Chundawat, who held the hereditary role of managing the State administration, while Maharana ruled.
Chundawats had the right to ratify any decision made by Maharana by signing a mark of the spear on every official document.
