The 19th century British writer James Tod compiled a version of the legend in his "Annals and Antiquities of Rajast'han". Tod mentioned several manuscripts, inscriptions and persons as his sources for the information compiled in the book. However, he does not name the exact sources that he used to compile the legend of Padmini in particular. He does not mention Malik Muhammad Jayasi's "Padmavat" or any other Sufi adaptions of that work among his sources, and seems to have been unaware of these sources. He does mention "Khumman Raso" in connection with the legend of Padmini, but he seems to have relied more on the local bardic legends along with Hindu and Jain literary accounts. Tod's version of Padmini's life story was a synthesis of multiple sources and a Jain monk named Gyanchandra assisted Tod in his research of the primary sources relating to Padmini.
