Then he says few verses or poetry, few of those lines were,"Char baans chobis guz, aangal asht pravan, maar maar mote to chook na Chauhan". So it would be an honour if you command Him to shoot". Chandbhar says, "A king, though as a prisoner, can receive command only from a king. To make game interesting for himself, he got his eyes pierced with hot iron rods. PrithviRaj was asked to show the art of archery, wherein he could aim and shoot just by hearing the sound. In Ghori's court, Prithviraj and Chandbhar were brought in shackles. It is said that PrithviRaj was taken to Afghanistan along with his raj-kavi cum friend, Chandbhar. What happens after this is clear from the local folk songs still prominent in Rajasthan. Taking advantage of the Rajput tradition of not fighting after dusk he attacked the rajput army and defeated them. Ghori divided his troops into five parts and attacked the Rajput armies in the early morning hours sending waves of mounted archers to attack the Rajput forces, but retreating as the Rajput elephant phalanx advanced. Sultan Muhammad Shahab-Ud-Din Ghori decided to attack. Pritiviraj countered with an offer that Muhammad consider a truce, be allowed to retreat with his army. Sultan Muhammad Ghori delivered an ultimatum to Pritviraj that he convert to Islam or be defeated. Prithviraj too came up with a large army, a huge portion of which consisted of Indian war elephants, and proceeded with it to meet Sultan Muhammad Shahab-Ud-Din Ghori in Tarain where a year before he had inflicted a crushing defeat on his adversary, confident of defeating Ghori again.
About 150 Rajput chiefs responded to his call.
Prithviraj Chauhan then issued a fervent appeal to his fellow Rajput chiefs to come to his aid against the Muslim invader. When he reached Lahore, he sent his envoy to Prithviraj Chauhan to demand his submission, but Prithviraj Chauhan refused to comply. Sultan Muhammad Shahab-Ud-Din Ghori proceeded towards India with a large force numbering 120,000. The following year, in 1192, the Ghori army returned to challenge Prithviraj at the Second Battle of Tarain. He expanded his empire, during this time Mohammad Ghori attacked India in 1191 and he was defeated at the first battle of Tarain. He rode off with her on the day of her 'Swayamwara'. His love story with his enemy, Jaichand's daughter, Sanyogita is very famous. He defeated the mighty Bheemdev, ruler of Gujarat, at the mere age of thirteen. His whole life was a continuous chain of bravery, courage, chivalrous deeds and glorious exploits. When he ascended to the throne of Delhi, he built Qila Rai Pithora here. He once killed a lion on his own without any weapon. His mother's father Anangpal, ruler of Delhi, declared him heir to the throne of Delhi after hearing about his courage and bravery. He succeeded to the throne of Ajmer at the age of thirteen, in 1178, when his father died in a battle. He had the skill of hitting the target only on the basis of its sound. He was a brilliant child and very sharp at learning the military skills. Prithviraj Chauhan, the last ruler of Chauhan dynasty to sit on the throne of Delhi, was born in 1165 as the son of Someshwar Chauhan, the king of Ajmer.
