which compelled Muhammad to enter into a defensive battle and
ultimately compelled him to retreat which proved to be disastrous

heavy lost of his man-power. Somehow, he managed to escape to
the bank of the river and found that two arches of the bridge had
been destroyed and the river was unfordable. He ultimately decided
to take shelter in a Hindu temple, nearby to the river. The Kamrupi
King besigned him in the temple by constructing a bamboo
palisade all round the temple. Having no other alternative,
Muhammad decided to take risk and breaking through the palisade,
he along with his army tried to cross the river which put him in
total hell. He lost the entire force and only with some best mounted
soldier, he somehow survived to reached the opposite bank of the
river.
Connecting the incident of the invasion with Madan-
Kamdeva, Tarini Kanta Sarmah has made a suggestion that
Bakhtiyar took shelter in one Narasimha temple situated on an
isolated hillock known even today also as Narasimha Parvat, at
the ending point of the series of the famous Madan-Kamdeva group
of temples. 22 In support of his presumption, Sarmah has put
forwarded his view in the following word that the king of Kamrupa
managed to surround the temple when Bukhtiyar took shelter, with the
bamboo palisade, which the Turks any how broke through and tried to
cross the river running by the erection of bamboo palisade all round
