Mohammad Ghauri foreign invaders was defeated 16 times and each time kindly left alive, but they were defeated seventeenth time through treachery of his inlaw JAYACHAND and then Mohammad Ghauri took with him to Afghanistan and had their eyes gouged out .

This event is world famous for the art of shooting the arrow with help of sound.After the 2nd battle of Tarain, Prithviraj Chauhan was blinded by Ghori. The rajput king's court-poet and childhood friend Chand Bardai followed Ghori in disguise, came to his camp and gained his trust. He then met Prithvi and they made a plan. Chand Bardai told Ghori that PRC knew Shavbvedi, i.e he could hit a target with his arrow on hearing a sound, but since he was a king, he would do so only on the orders of another king- i.e Ghori. Ghori called Prithvi and asked him to aim at a ringing bell. But instead of the bell, Prithviraj aimed for the sound of Ghori's voice. According to some legends, Chand composed a poem to help Prithvi understand the exact location of Ghori.Four chobis, finger proof Ashta.Sultan way up, do not miss the Chauhan.Ghori was killed, and to avoid being humiliated by Ghori's soldiers, Chand and Prithvi stabbed each other. Prithviraj Chauhan's grave is in Afganisthan and is made in such way that one needs to trod on that grave of PRITHVIRAJ CHAUHAN .... to visit Ghori's grave.
