1896. | W. Irvine— Later Mughals (1707-1803.) 197 
him; and although the night was dark, no lives were lost. Camp was 
pitched at Sarae Roz Bahani ! nearAkbar’s tomb at Bihishtabad Sikan- 
drah, five miles west of Agrah fort, with the front facing Agrah and the 
year towards Dihli. For a time Husain ‘Ali Khan and Chabélah Ram, 
Nagar, were left behind on the left bank of the river as a rearguard, 
with the view of protecting the army from any sudden pursuit on the 
part of Jahandar Shah. They, too, crossed the river twenty-four hours 
after the rest of Farrukhsiyar’s army. The next day, the 12th Zua-l-hajj 
(9th January 1713), the rain being less heavy and the mist less thick, 
was spent in rest and in drying such articles, cannon, muskets, and 
rockets, as had been wetted in fording the river. ? 
16. JAHANDAR SHAH MOVES FROM SAamMUGARH. 
No one in Jahandar Shah’s army had dreamt that Farrukhsiyar 
would be able to cross the Jamnah so easily and expeditiously. The 
news spread consternation through his camp and threw all his plans 
into confusion. A retrograde movement was commenced, and although 
the distance was not great, the whole day was spent on the march and 
the emperor did not reach his tents until nightfall. During the next 
two days, the 12th and 13th, Jahaudir Shah failed to take the initia- 
tive. Zia-l-fiqar Khan thought that delay would induce many of 
Farrukhsiyar’s soldiers to desert, for they were supposed to be enduring 
great hardships in various ways. 
17. Tue Barrie or AcRAH (13TH ZU-L-HAsS 1124 H. 
10ra January, 1713). 
Zi-1-fiqgar Khan chose a position resting, to the right or east, upon 
the gardens and houses of Agrah, having to the left and the front, that 
is, the west and north, cultivated fields, thorny scrub, and many broad, 
deep ravines. To the south and rear the emperor’s camp was pitched. 
1 Yahya Khan, 1200, places the camp near Sikandrah. Sarae Roz Bahani 
(Kh. Kh. II, 720) was 4 kos or about 9 miles west of Agrah. There is a tomb ofa 
saint of some repute, Shekh Roz Bihan, a little to the east of Shiraz town, E.G. 
Browne, ‘ A year amongst the Persians,’ London, 1893, p. 274. Roz Bahan was the 
son of Abi Nasar, lived to be 84 years of age, and died 696 H., Shirdz-na@mah, B.M. 
Addl. 18,185 fol. 186 a. The Roz Bahani who built this Sarae may have been a 
descendant or disciple of this saint. Roz Bahaniis not in Beale, although that 
author lived at Agrah. A Yusuf Khan, Rdz-Bihéni, was Sibahdar of Haidarabad 
in Bahadur Shah’s reign— Ma’ dsiru-l-wmard, I, 256. Again, id. III, 771, a corps of 
Roz Bahanis was present in the battle against Prince Shuja‘ at Bélghatha near 
Akbarnagar (Mungér ?).
