His troops were disposed in the following order. As the heavy artillery 
had been abandoned inthe Jamnah sands, the light artillery under 
Raza Quli Khan was removed from the centre and sent to the front, 
where the guns were drawn up in line and chained together. The 
vanguard was divided by Zu-l-figar Khan into two parts of fifteen thou- 
sand men each, one half under Kokaltash Khan (Khan Jahan) and the 
other under Jani Khan. In support, there were ten thousand men 
under Sabha Cand, ‘Abdu-s-samad Khan and Mohammad Amin Khan. 
The first body was opposed to ‘Abdu-llah Khan, and the second to 
Husain ‘Ali Khan, who was on the right of Farrukhsiyar. Raji 
Muhammad Khan, the mir-atash, was sent off with seven elephants 
to recover the heavy guns from the sand, and by great exertions he 
was able to bring forty of them into action. ! 
By three o'clock in the afternoon of the 13th Zu-l-hajj or 19th Di 
(10th January 1713) the rain stopped and the mist lifted; the con- 
tending armies as the sun broke out were able to perceive each other’s 
movements. ‘Abdu-llah Khan mounted his elephant and displayed his 
war standard. Then he sent Chabélah Ram, Nagar, Khan Zaman 
(‘Ali Asghar) and Muhammad Khan, at the head of 8,000 horse, to 
meet Jani Khan, who was advancing in his direction. Kokaltash 
Khan (Khan Jahan) who was on Jahandar Shah’s left, had been told 
to attack Husain ‘Ali Khan, who was immediately in front of him. 
But disobeying Zi-l-figar Khan’s orders, he turned his attack against 
Farrukhsiyar’s centre. Meanwhile, in the expectation thatthe guns would 
soon arrive, there was some hesitation on Jahandar Shah’s side in charg- 
inghome. Husain ‘Ali Khan, provoked that the enemy had assumed the 
initiative, lost patience and advancing into the field with Saf Shikan

@ Khafi Khan, 721, says this force was sentagainst Kokaltash Khan. Iradat 
Khan (J. Scott, IT, pt. IV, p. 93) appears to be referring to this movement when 
he says ‘ After a cannonade, I saw two bodies from the enemy’s line charge ours 
one witha red and the other with a green standard The former was the corps 
of Rajah Chabélah Ram, and the latter, that of Sayyad Husain ‘Ali Khan,’
