People say, it was Kunwar Pratap's love and treatment to animals that made them so loyal to him. He refused even a sip of water at the Mughal camp, and died being force fed by the Mughal soldiers in vain. For the next twenty one days Ram Prasad showed his loyalty to his master. The emperor decided to take Kunwar Pratap's beloved elephant with him to Agra as his prize. He was finally captured using other elephants and taken to Akbar's camp. Ram Prasad had managed to stampede Mughal foot soldiers. On the final day of the seize, he had refused to let anyone sit on him, so the commander Patta decided to let him free and fight his own battle. Ram Prasad much like Chetak could fight without a mahaut. While Kunwar Pratap had partnered with Ram Prasad on all his major wars, including the one with the afghans, he could not take Ram Prasad with him to Kumbhalgarh. While along with Chittorgarh all major forts also received threats that were successfully guarded by the Mewaris, one popular legend is that of Ram Prasad. There are many legends surrounding the Chittorgarh seize.
