Maharaja.Ranjit.Sing.. - Gurmat Veechar

In the Hands of the Hindu Kings 23
His loot of Somnath, the well-known centre of Hindu
worship, yielded the richest plunder in the shape of
gold, gems and jewels.
After Mahmood of Ghazni came Mohd. Ghaurie.
He was defeated by Prithvi Raj Chauhan at Tarawari.
Prithvi Raj's cousin Jai Chand, who was jealous of
his power and splendour, later on joined hands with
Ghaurie and became the cause of Chauhan's
overthrow. Sultan Ghaurie consolidated his power and
subsequently turned upon Jai Chand and vanquished
this traitor. A large booty fell to him. We, however,
do not hear of the famous diamond in these
discourses. Where was this priceless diamond? No
mention is made of it in the rich plunders of either
Ghaznvi or Ghaurie. Had it fallen into their hands,
certainly the fact would have been brought to light
by historians.
But no; this famous diamond never fell into
their hands. When the invasions became frequent
and the invaders' greed proved insatiable, it was
smuggled out to Malwa where Parmar dynasty was
in power. The diamond was bequeathed from one
ruler to another in succession as one of their most
treasured possessions. The last one to possess it was
Raja Ram Dev.
