"It is Malharji’s wish to demolish the mosque at Jnanvapi and build a temple. However, the panch-dravidi Brahmins [from Karnataka, Telugu, Dravida i.e. Tamil Nadu and Kerala, Maharashtra and Gurjara] worry that the mosque is well-known. The patil will make the temple without an order from the Emperor. Once the Emperor comes to evil ways, the Brahmins will die. He will take their lives. In this province, the yavanas [Muslims] are in strength. They will not all accept this. It is better to build it at another place. The Brahmins are worried. They will be in a bad state. The Ganga is omnipotent! In Kashi, the Brahmins are worried. However, to do that will not endanger the Brahmins, will be pious. Even so, what the Vishweshwar thinks proper, he will do. What is the point of worrying? If they begin to demolish the temple, the Brahmins will come and send a letter of request to the Shrimant—that is the thought now."
