Farwell To The whole PRC 
Char Bans Chaubi Gag, ungal asat parman; Ta upar sultan hai, mat chuke Chauhan.
Prithvi Raj Chauhan shot Ghauri dead. And before body guards, Mir and Khan, could slay the king and the Chand Bardai, the latter killed each other with the help of daggers.
To Pundar:-
To Arjun:-
To M. Ghori:-
- One of Prithviraj's major battles was fought against Ghori, the ruler of Afghanistan. Ghori had become very powerful. He had captured Ghazni and defeated the Governor of Punjab. His kingdom stretched up to the domains of Prithviraj Chauhan and a clash was inevitable.
- They first clashed during the first battle of Tarain-Prithviraj won the battle and took Ghori as a captive but he respectfully released him. Some say that Prithviraj actually pardoned him 16 times over 16 encounters.
- Desperate to avenge his defeat, Ghori attacked Prithviraj the next year, before sunrise. Prithviraj was unprepared, as Hindus didn't fight between sunset and sunrise. Through his deceit, Ghori captured him.
- In captivity, Prithviraj refused to lower his gaze before Ghori. Thus the angry Ghori burnt his eyes with red-hot iron rods and blinded him!
- The blind Prithviraj then took revenge on his enemy by shooting him during an archery competition thanks to his knowledge of shabd bhedi baan chalana. His friend Chand Bardai is said to have helped him with the help of the couplet:
Dus kadam aggey, beed kadam daey, baitha hai sultan. Ab mat chuko chauhan, chala do apna baan.
Farewell To His
Immortal Love
- During his reign, Prithviraj heard the court poet describe the unmatched beauty of a lady. Immensely impressed, he soon found out that the beauty described was Sanyogita, the daughter of the Jaichand, King of Kannauj. He disguised himself and went to see her.
- Meanwhile Sanyogita too had heard tales of Prithviraj's courage and valour and was smitten. When she finally saw an attractive painting of Prithviraj Chauhan, she knew in her heart that she would marry him. She met the King in disguise and they fell in love.
- Suspecting the relationship between the two of them, Jaichand decided to organize a swayamvar in all pomp and splendour for his daughter. He called many princes worthy of his daughter, from all across the country. However Prithviraj wasn't invited. Jaichand despised Prithviraj as the latter had been chosen by Anangpal to be the heir to the throne of Delhi.
- So as to humiliate Prithviraj, Jaichand erected his statue, dressed and bent as a dwaarpal at the gateway to the swayamvar. However, at the time of the swayamvar, Sanyogita passed all the eligible princes and finally garlanded Prithviraj's statue.

To PRC:
Prithviraj Chauhan was born c. 1168 to king Someshwara Chauhan and his wife Karpurawali. He was renowned to be the sharpest among all the princes in the household. At gurukul , Prithviraj learnt shastra vidya (weaponry, armed combat), sahitya (literature), kala (arts) and rajniti shastra (politics).It was here that he learned the art of "shaabd bhedi baan vidhya" that is hittitng a target without seeing the target, that is only on the basis of sound. With the stories of Prithviraj's courage, valor and intelligence spreading far and wide, Anangpal the King of Delhi decided to make him the king of delhi instead of jai chandra. Thus he was crowned prince of Delhi at the young age of 13 years. At the age of 12, he killed Bheemdev Solanki, the king of Gujarat, who betrayed his father Someshwar Chauhan. Prithviraj Chauhan was the second last Hindu king to sit upon the throne of Delhi.
He controlled much of Rajasthan and Haryana, and unified the Rajputs against Muslim invasions. His elopement with Samyukta, the daughter of Jai Chandra, the Gahadvala king of Kannauj, is a popular romantic tale in India, and is one of the subjects of the Prithviraj Raso, an epic poem composed by Prithviraj's court poet and friend, Chand Bardai. As a king, Prithvi represents the league of Rajputs best known for their bravery. Prithvi Raj is also famous for his encounters with Mohammed Ghouri. A true son of soil, Prithvi was a very responsible king who could go to any extent to safeguard his motherland, his people and their interests.
To Sanyogita:
Sanyogita is the beautiful daughter of the King of Kannauj, Jaichand. She is a pampered and protected girl. Tales of her beauty had spread far. Her love for him is so strong that she defies her beloved father's wishes and chooses to run away with him.
On the day of her swayamwar, she refuses to choose any of the princes present and instead openly declares her love by garlanding Prithviraj's statute kept at the door by her father. Soon, Prithviraj himself appears and they elope. This led to a rift between Delhi and Kannauj kingdoms which was taken advantage of by Sultan Muhammad Ghori of Afghanistan. The love story of Prithvi Raj Chauhan and Sanyogita was immortalized through songs and poems.
To Chand Bardai

After the second battle of Trian (now Taraori, near Karnal in Haryana state - then Punjab), the king was arrested by Muhammad Ghauri. He was put in Goar jail in Ghazni, and he was blinded. The Royal poet managed to approach his king, and chalked out a plan to finish Ghauri. He convinced Ghauri that the king was an expert in archery and he should be asked to display his skills. The stage was set. Ghauri was seated at the top to enjoy the skilful art of king Chauhan. In the meantime, the poet described the distance and direction of the seat of Ghauri, to his master in the following verse:
Char Bans Chaubi Gag, ungal asat parman; Ta upar sultan hai, mat chuke Chauhan.
Prithvi Raj Chauhan shot Ghauri dead. And before body guards, Mir and Khan, could slay the king and the Chand Bardai, the latter killed each other with the help of daggers.
