Bhan, an esteemed ancestor of Suryamall, held a respected position in the Chittorgarh darbar and would occasionally visit Rao Suryamal, the reigning ruler of Bundi.
Impressed, Bhan immortalized the event in his poetry, evoking the appreciation of Rao Suryamal, who gifted him an elephant, a horse, and a substantial amount.
However, upon returning to Chittorgarh, Bhan narrated the tale of Suryamal's valor and generosity to Rana Ratan Singh, who, out of jealousy, asked him to leave his domain.
Vishnu Singh, the then Maharaja of Bundi, had conferred the fiefdom of a village in sasan, lakh pasav, and the title of Kaviraja to Chandi Dan.
Having been educated by the leading scholars of his age, Suryamal Misran was well-versed in astronomy, religion, culture, astrology, philosophy, and several languages, in addition to possessing exceptional literary gifts.
[5] Thus, Suryamal Misran received an educational, literary, and historical atmosphere right from the beginning, giving rise to a unique confluence of knowledge, wisdom, and valor.
He left the work unfinished at the eighth part of the second volume because of differences with the king, whose territory became a British protectorate, while the poet supported the Indian Rebellion of 1857.
In at least three couplets of Veer Satsai he expressed his concern for the wives of brave soldiers, who asked the queen for a handful of grains against the promise of their husbands' heads rolling before hers, whenever needed in return.
It sings of those who indulged unflinchingly in the dangerous game of defiance and death, preferring extinction with honour to a life of slavery and shame.
[5] Although Suryamal had no dearth of wealth and resources he spent his days depressed because he had no children, he felt suffocated by the growing hold of British power over India.
His epic creation "Vansh Bhaskar" book also remained incomplete, which was later completed by his adopted son Kaviraja Murari Dan.
[citation needed] Suryamal Misran is often referred to by Indian scholars as the ‘Veda Vyas’ of the recent modern period, in that his Vansha Bhaskar is regarded as an epic on par with Mahabharata.
[citation needed] Suryamall's monumental work, Vansh-Bhaskar, is a vast source of knowledge on war, astronomy, yoga, religion, and ancient traditional sciences of India, while extensively covering the history of the Chauhans and other dynasties of Rajasthan.
[10][11][12] In recent years, his persona has been staged in theatre, most notably in Rajendra Panchal's 'Katha Sukavi Suryamall Ki' performed by the Perafin group of Kota.
