  1. (11) When Arundevrai of Ajmer overcame the Muslims and ousted them from his land, he performed a great ceremony to purify the land which was rendered impure by the Muslim contact, and at that holy place, built a big temple and a lake named ‘Anasagar’. All the men and women, who were converted at the time of the Muslim domination, were all reconverted to Hinduism by merely dipping into this Anasagar lake and moreover, it was given out as a religious precept, that whichever Muslim convert bathed in this lake, with due declaration of his intention and according to some procedure, was to be considered purified and could enter Hinduism.
  2. (12) Amarsingh Maharaj of Jaisalmir also performed a similar ceremony and built a lake called Amarsagar. In this lake, sanctified by the great ceremony, thousands of Hindus in Sindh, who were formerly converted to Islam, dipped en masse, declaring their intention to enter into Hinduism, and chanted Mantras while they bathed, and the religious authorities recognised their purification and reconversion to Hinduism.
  3. (13) A reference has to be made to Shree Vidyaranyaswami, who like Maharshi Deval and Medhatithi, tried to check the Muslim religious aggression by inspiring the Hindus to retaliate, by bringing forth revolutionary proof of religious authority and sometimes enunciating new religious laws for the purpose. Shree Vidyaranyaswami had accepted not only the supreme leadership (authority) of the religious institution of Shankaracharya at Shringeri, but also of the revolutionary institution designed to overthrow the Muslim power and to establish in its place, a Hindu empire in order to protect Hinduism. He produced not only religious authority for the reconversion of the unfortunate Hindus leading a miserable life under Islam, but he himself publicly reconverted the once forcibly converted Harihar and Bukka, and when these two great warriors defeated the Muslims on several occasions, and established in A.D. 1336, the Hindu State of Vijayanagar, he himself crowned the reconverted Harihar as the Hindu Emperor.
  4. After the overthrow of the Muslim power in Gomantak, this very Vidyaranya Madhavacharya built at a holy place, a lake named Madhavteerth and effected mass reconversion of the Muslimized Hindus with ceremonial baths in it. He also provided a religious authority for the future reconversion and purification.
  5. (14) Shree Ramanujacharya, his disciples Shree Ramanand and Shree Chaitanya Prabhu of Bengal, also purified hundreds of Muslimized Hindus
