the Battle of P a n i p u t, 105 



forty pieces of cannon, and a great number of Jhuternah^ or fwivels p 

 •mounted on camels 1 :this was the ftrength of the Durrany army. 



With the IVava&'SHVj a-ul-d owl ah there were two thoufand horfe s 

 two thoufand foot, and twenty pieces of cannon of different fizes : 



With Nujetb ul-dowlah, fix thoufand horfe and twenty thoufand 

 Rohilla foot, with great numbers of rockets : 



With Doondy Khan and Hafiz Rahmut Khan, fifteen thoufand 

 Rohilla foot and four thoufand horfe, with fome pieces of cannon : 



And with Ahmed Khan Bung ash one thoufand horfe, one thoufand 

 foot, with fome pieces of cannon, making altogether forty-one thoufand 

 eight hundred horfe, and thirty-eight thoufand foot, with between feventy 

 and eighty pieces of cannon. 



This I know to have been precifely the ftate of the Mujfulman army, 

 having made repeated and particular inquiries before I fet it down, both 

 from the Dufter (or Office) of Mutters, and from thofe by whom the 

 daily provifions were diftributed. But the numbers of irregulars, which 

 accompanied thefe troops, were four times that number, and their horfes 

 and arms were very little inferior to thofe of the regular Durranies. In 

 action it was their cuftom immediately after the regulars had charged and 

 broken the enemy, to fall upon them fword in hand, and complete the rout. 

 All the Durranies were men of great bodily flrength and their horfes of the 

 Turki breed j naturally very hardy, and rendered ftill more fo by conti- 

 nual exercife.
