  1. Is it not testimony enough that the very first quatrain by the very first poet should be born of a highly exciting sentiment, which could never be conveyed in simple words?
  2. Precaution, however, must be taken that the poetic description of such exceptional yet exciting events should not pervert the original facts. A well-authenticated history should express itself through all this emotional display.

  4. In the twentieth chapter of this book, the Hindu-Muslim war, which had been going on for six centuries, had entered the seventh. But even when such a long time of bitter warfare had elapsed and even when the Hindu Nation had been sorely plagued and profusely bled by the ferocious religio- political aggressions of all the Asian Muslims—the Arabs, the Afghans, the Pathans, the Turks, the Moghals—yet even by the beginning of the seventeenth century, the Hindu Nation had, neither in the north nor in the south, been completely vanquished!

The same resurgent spirit of the Hindus grew steadily every day and ultimately by the time which the course of our story has now reached, the presiding deity of the Hindu Nation seems to have felt the dire necessity to use the histro-mythological phraseology, of bringing forth an extraordinarily, illustrious Hindu family which could ultimately lead the ever-growing Hindu might throughout the whole of India. In the old times when that deity felt a similar need of extirpating the Saka-Hun and other Mlenchhas, she performed, according to Chand Bhat in his epic ‘The Story of Agnikula’, a great sacrifice on Mount Abu and brought forth four Indian
