Kha'ja Ashref Khan, Ali-yar Khan, A'akil 

 Beg Khan, Shahd'ad Khan Afghan, Ahmed Ali 

 Khan, Razin Rai Khan, commander of the artil- 

 lery, as also Shir Khal'u, with about three hundred 

 other nobles and leaders, of whom fifteen were com- 

 manders of seven thousand, of four and of three thou- 

 sand, were slain. 



Muh'ammed Shah, with Nizam ul Mulk, 

 ruler of the seven provinces of the Deehin, and a chief 

 noble of the empire, Kamer ul Din Khan, chief 

 vizier, and some other nobles of less note, protected 

 by a covering party which had been left, made good 

 their retreat within the entrenchments, and escaped the 

 shock of our victorious swords 



This action lasted two hours; and for two hours 

 and a half more were our conquering soldiers engaged 

 in pursuit. When one hour of the day remained, the 

 field was entirely cleared of the enemy; and as the 

 entrenchments of their camp were strong, and the 

 fortifications formidable, we would not permit our army 

 to assault it. 



An immense treasure, a number of grand elephants, 

 the artillery of the emperor, and great spoils of every 

 description, were the reward of our victory. Upwards 

 of twenty thousand of the enemy were slain on the 

 field of battle, and a much greater number were made 

 prisoners. 



Immediately after this action, we surrounded the 

 emperor's camp, and took measures to prevent all com- 

 munication with the adjacent country, preparing at 

 the same time our cannon and mortars to level with 

 the ground the fortification which had been erected.
