Sultan Mahmud of Gazni (AD 997-1030) Thanesar (Haryana)

"The city of Taneshar is highly venerated by Hindus. The idol of that place is called Cakrasvamin, i.e. the owner of the chakra, a weapon which we have already described. It is of bronze and is nearly the size of a man. It is now lying in the hippodrome in Ghazna, together with the Lord of Somnath, which is a representation of the penis of the Mahadeva, called Linga."

(Name Of The Book: Tarikhu'l-Hind)
