Flushed with the decisive victory over Prithviraja Chahamana, Muhammad marched into Ajmer, captured it, slaughtered thousands of its inhabitants who had dared to oppose him, and âreserved the rest for slaveryâ36. Scores of âidol templesâ were demolished, and the famous Sanskrit college of Vigraharaja IV was converted into a mosque. Hasan Nizami is ecstatic.
The victorious army on the right and on the left departed towards Ajmer. When the crow-faced Hindus began to sound their white shells on the backs of the elephants, you would have said that a river of pitch was flowing impetuously down the face of a mountain of blue. The army of Islam was completely victorious, and a hundred thousand grovelling Hindus swiftly departed to the fire of hell. He destroyed (at Ajmer) the pillars and foundations of the idol temples, and built in their stead mosques and colleges, and the precepts of Islam, and the customs of the law were divulged and established.37
