Your snippet talks about Nara, NOT Mihirakula.
He destroyed Buddhist settlements not for any religious reasons. A monk had seduced his wife.
He persecuted Brahmans too. Forcibly abducted wives of Brahmans.
This is the DIFFERENCE. Kalhana CONDEMNS Nara for his acts.

Mμslim Chroniclers like Barani describe with glee the destruction of Hindu temples by pious Mμslim sultans
