piyu,
in those days.. poets used to accompany the kings to the battle.. so that they can see the war.. n describe the war thru their poems.
They used to not actually fight.. they were only witness to the fights.. so it was a hindu rule that u shld not attack a poet in the battle field.
chand was an exception, he learned all these fights bcos he went to gurukul along with prithvi.. however since alha was a true yodha.. he did not kill chand even though chand knew fighting

thnx huney nice info i jud dun hav any idea abt it.........

wow nice informantion.👏, but but Sagar never showed Chander as poet 😕

i didn't know that he is poet , how come ? Sagar should have shown this and poor chandder should at least said some poem 😆 he never had any dialogue 😃

its really surprisin u didn't knew abt chand being a poet, well i hope u must be knwng dat sagars r refferin do d source - "chand bardai's - prithviraj raso" edittd by james todd i guess. so chand bardai was acctually a court poet, of prithviraj chauhan besides being a freind too.😳
