Raja Gaj shut himself up for three entire days in the temple of Kuladevi:⁴ on the fourth day the goddess appeared and revealed to him his destiny; the Gajni would pass from his hands, but that his posterity would reinherit it, not as Hindus but as Muslims; and directed him to send his son Salbahan amongst the Hindus of the east, there to erect a city to be named after him. She said that he would have fifteen sons, whose issue would multiply; ‘that he (Raja Gaj) would fall in the defence of Gajni, but would gain a glorious reward hereafter.’ - [Previous: v2.c30.61](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tod-1829.v2.c30.61) - [Next: v2.c30.63](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tod-1829.v2.c30.63) - [Up: v2.c30](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tod-1829.v2.c30) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tod-1829.v2.c30.62](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tod-1829.v2.c30.62) · Pramāṇa
