Puranrai offered apology for his gratuitous insult to the culture of Gujarat. He surrendered to Kumarpal who treated his foe with his characteristic magnanimity. The people rejoiced in the victory that had vindicated the honour of their land and culture.
They were fortunate in having a Raja who had not only the valour of a lion, but also the faith of a devotee, in Almighty God; who was not only a warrior, but a crusader for truth and religion.
