and irreligious conduct, about truth and falsehood, we fight shy of sinful acts, but these non-Hindus (meaning Muslims) are utterly shameless!’’ 680. But the breach of promise, which could Muslimize the whole of the kafir state, was a highly religious duty for the Muslims, and because Mohammed Ghori broke his promises again and again, he became a Gazi among the Muslims! This fact also must be engraved on the hearts of the Hindus that (the Muslims who acted irreligiously according to Chand Bhat were blessed with success by God, whereas the Hindus who never broke any promise but showed the quixotic greatness of setting the enemy free alive, were crushed outright owing to their steadfast adherene to their so- called religious conduct! 681. There was another reason why Mohammed Ghori thought it to be the best opportunity to march against Prithviraj, Jaychand the King of Kanouj, had secretly given a solemn promise to help him against Prithviraj, his direst enemy, a promise that later proved fatal to himself.

Fast as Mohammed Ghori made for Delhi, faster still went the tragic news of the defeat of Prithviraj and of his death or probable capture by the Muslims, to the royal palace of Delhi, whereupon, according to the pre-arranged plan, perhaps the empress Sanyogita lost not a minute to face the danger boldly in the traditional Rajput way. At once, leaving aside all consideration for wealth, parental love, fraternal affection, the attachment to her earthly existence and breaking all ties of love and duty, she jumped from the top-most floor of the palace and killed herself with the
