-'''Medini Rai Parihar''' or '''Medini Rao''' (died 1528) was one of [[Rana Sanga]]'s most distinguished lieutenants. In his early years, Medini served the [[Malwa]] sultan and helped him consolidate his rule, but the sultan grew suspicious of Medini because of his rising power and asked the Sultan of Gujarat to destroy Medini Rai. Upon knowing of the betrayal, Medini asked Rana Sanga for help and together with the Rana he defeated the Malwa-Gujarat armies and became the [[Rajah]] of Eastern Malwa, under the over lordship of Rana Sanga. The Sultan of Malwa was captured and released after six months by Rana Sanga. The capture of Chanderi shocked the court of [[Delhi]] as they were not expecting the [[Rajput]]s to invade Malwa. This led to several skirmishes and battles between the [[Lodi Empire]] and the Kingdom of [[Mewar]]. Medini Rai actively helped Rana Sanga in these battles and helped him score a series of victories. Rana Sanga's influence after the war extended to Pilia Khar, a river on the outskirts of [[Agra]].<ref>[https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=L5eFzeyjBTQC&pg=PA224#v=onepage&q&f=false Chandra, Satish (2006).
