" Heavy taxes have been imposed on pilgrim centres, temples broken and scriptures destroyed.Every house has to pay Jaziya tax. They have done as pleased as the rulers"
Then, describing the situation of the time (1660s) , and to bring contrast with Chhatrapati Shivaji the poet Lal Kavi further writes
" All Rajputs have been defeated. Those who opposed have faced trouble"
