Wrong interpretation I am afraid. Prithviraj had taken over delhi by that time. :rotfl: Delhi was conquered by Vigraharaja IV, not Prithviraja (as per the contemporary Prithviraja Vijaya as well as the Bijolia inscription).

Thanks! Prithviraj set out for Multan and Ghori set out from Multan. They did not meet in Multan because Ghori returns to Multan after he had been captured and released. Multan was the last Ghaznivid area that Ghori captured from descendants of Mahmud Ghaznavi . Multan was not a "Ghaznavid are...

Hammir Mahakavya and Raso both say that Ghori was captured. So does the bardic literature of Hindus. Prithviraj Vijay does not cover this time period . Prithviraja Vijaya is accurate for the Chauhan genealogy, accurate for military details, and directly contradicts the basic story of the Raso. Even...

But depends which Raso are we talking about. Apparently there were 4 : shortest, short, medium and long Rasos. Other then the shortest one the rest have embellishments/mistakes and were written centuries after Prithviraj's time though the shortest one may have been written within a few decades of h...
