  • Hooja 2006, pp. 720–721: "This vacuum, Maldeo had realised, Rao Ganga could not fill, in spite of his achievements. Rather fortuitously for Maldeo, he did not have long to wait, for Rao Ganga died on 21 May 1531, following a fall from a balcony located high above a sheer drop in the towering great fortress-town of Jodhpur.
    The fall may have been an accident, but it is commonly held that Rao Ganga was pushed out of the balcony by Maldeo, who was apparently eager to gather the reins of the state into his own hands. According to local lore, one version of which was given by Nainsi in his Khyat, while Rao Ganga was enjoying the effects of opium as well as a cool breeze, dispelling the heat of summer, at a palace balcony, his ambitious heir, Maldeo pushed him from behind. The unfortunate Rao plummeted to his death. Some nineteenth- and early twentieth-century writers like Pandit Visheshwar Nath Reu and Pandit Ram Karan Asopa have tried to exonerate Maldeo from the charge of patricide, by stating — without citing any corroborative information, that Rao Ganga died because of an accidental fall.".
