After the murder of his father quitted Chittor for Marwar. Jodha during his flight was closely pursued by Rawat Chunda, the uncle of Rana Kumbha. He lost almost all his followers in the skirmishes that took place, and in order to be beyond the reach of his enemies, he went to Kahuni....Jodha laid the foundation to a new fort and town in 1459, and named it Jodhpur, after his own name. Under his leadership the political status of the Rathors was considerably raised, even Rana Kumbha entered into an alliance with him by fixing the boundaries between Marwar and Mewar. Kumbha's successor, Rana Uda, sought his help against his own clansmen by giving him Sambhar and Ajmer.
the Rathor strongholds came under attack from the Delhi Sultanate especially as Nagaur, Jalore and Siwana became garrisons of the sultanate. Years later, Jodha succeeded on forging alliances with Deoras, Eendas, Sanklas and Bhatis from Janglu, Pugal and Jaisalmer. Subsequently Merta, Phalodi, Pokhran, Bhadrajun, Sojat, Jaitaran, Siwana, Nagaur and Godwar were permanently added to the Rathor territory, thus making Marwar the most powerful kingdom in Rajputana.
It took Jodha several years to strengthen his vulnerable position...defeating his enemies Jodha gradually brought areas like Merta, Phalodi, Pokhran, Bhadrajun, Sojat, Jaitaran, Siwana, parts of Nagaur and the Godawar area under Marwar's sway. Finally, the one time capital of Mandore appeared within his grasp and Jodha regained it in AD 1453..Chapar Drona area was captured after Jodha led an expedition against the Mohilas...he is also credited with victory over the Pathans of Fatehpur....Of Jodha's own sons, prince Duda annexed the area of Merta...Satal conquered a part of the territory of the Bhatis and founded a village called Satalmer...Suja secured Sojat ...Raipala captured Asop...Karamsi founded Khimsar...Bika with the help of his uncle Kandhal...founded a seperate [sic] kingdom that came to be known as Bikaner...The death was avenged by joint action on part of Kandhal's brother, the aged Rao Jodha...and nephew Rao Bika...in a fiercely fought battle at Dronpur, that saw heavy losses on both sides, put the Delhi's imperial troops to flight.
