His Immortal Love
After becoming the king of Ajmer, 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 Jai Chandra,
King of Kannauj. He disguised himself and went to see her. They had met
before on the yatra to Koteshwar Mandir. At that time, Prithviraj disguised
himself as Surya and princess Sanyogita under the name of Nandini.
Though whenever they met, a fight used to always used to break out
between them. They're relation was like Krishna and Radha.
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 swayamvara 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.[citation needed]: So, 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. At that moment, Prithviraj
stepped out and whisked his beloved away! It is believed that after
Sanyogita's haran, Prithviraj was presented with a special, magical bow
and arrow.
