v3.c37.s2.2

∗ We were told at Kanauj that there was a Persian Bakhar there giving details of the storming of the temple of Lakshmi called Sītā Rasoi temple (a place where Sītā had cooked food for Rāma) which has now been converted into a mosque, wherein the many pillars of the old temple are still retained. There was a most desperate fight at the storming of this temple in the fort and hundreds of Rajput and Mahomedan warriors were killed in the fight.
