of blood of the Hindu men and women, children and old people, began to
flow through every house and every street. Not a single young Hindu
woman escaped kidnapping. Not a single cow was spared her life. The
innocent blood of the cows, too, flowed like water. Those Muslim demons
were neither satisfied with nor tired of this brutality. On the country, in order
to adorn these devilish acts of theirs with their diabolic artistic sense, they
travestied the ceremony of the Hindu Rangpanchami, which happened to be
at that time. And how? Big cauldrons and vessels full of Hindu blood newly
shed, were kept at different places at short intervals, and the Muslim
solidiers with large syringes in hand went on drenching the Hindus in every
street and every home in their own blood. The same was the miserable fate
of the next town of Gokul, Vrindavan. But the moment he got the news that
Rughunathrao had left Indore and proceeded with a large army to destroy
him, that self-styled Shahenshah, Abdali, hurried for life to Delhi with all his
army and thence to Lahore and onwards straight to Kabul!
1078. Although the very same Maratha force that had beaten back
Abdali’s army straight beyond the (North West) frontier (of India) were now
returning to the Deccan after glorious victories in Punjab and were visiting
the same holy places of Mathura [wrongly spelt Mattra, CHI (1939) and by
other writers] Gokul, Vrindavan, and while they were performing their
religious rites and having ceremonial baths in the holy rivers, while again
they were listening to the harrowing accounts of the Muslim atrocities on
the Hindus and their religion, perpetrated only a year ago, while still the
Hindu blood spilled profusely by the Muslims on the well-built banks (घाट
ghats) of the Jamuna at Mathura had not yet completely dried away, while
again the ditches filled with the beef of cows (slain by the Muslims) had
been putrefying along the streets, the heads of this Mathura army were not
excited with anger at these Muslim brutalities! Nobody of them was beside
himself with shame and indignation! None of them was infuriated and none
of them vowed revenge of this religious persecution! The victorious general
of the Hindus, the brave Raghunathrao, did not issue any order to his army
to the effect that they should retaliate with the same atrocities on the
Muslims as were indulged in by the latter, that the Muslims as a whole were
to be slaughtered, that just like (the ruined) heaps of the Hindu temples, the
Muslim masjids should be pulled down without any exception, that the
Muslim women should be put to the same indescribable humiliation and
shame as the Hindu women folk were done by the Muslims, that it was their
