armed support for the Hindus in those regions. Another proof of this is the
provision in the (Smrityaite) smarta order (order-system-laid down by the
smritis) for adding or deleting according to the times and circumstances, the
religious duties beneficial or harmful to the nation. The verse:
“Different were the religious rites
and duties of the krit, Dwapar and
other epochs (ages) (But) owing to
the deterioration of the ages, the
duties of men have come to be different”
अन्ये कृतयुगे धर्माः
त्रेतायां द्वापरे परे॥
अन्ये कलियुगे नृणाम
युग ह्सानुरुपतः॥
expresses the idea very succinctly.
525. Naturally, when the Hindu kingdoms beyond the Indus were lost and
the Hindus and Persians and others were converted to Islam, under
unbearable persecution by the Muslim powers established there, and, as
such, when to go beyond the Indus became as horrible as to abandon one’s
own religion, it must have become absolutely necessary for the smritis to
issue the new order of the darkest hour (adverse times), that it was sinful
for any Hindu to cross the Indus, that the land beyond the Indus should be
considered a Muslim land. From this time onwards, therefore, the ban on
crossing Attock must have been strictly enforced.
526-528. The verse in Bhavishya Puran, which describes the new
boundaries of India, and which I myself brought to light for the first time
“The Aryan nation is best called
Sindhusthan. The land beyond the
Indus is made the land of the
Muslims by that great soul”.

राष्ट्र भार्यस्य चोत्तमम्।
म्लेच्छ स्थानम् परं सिंधोः
कृतं तेन महात्मना॥
