W. Irvine —The Bang ash Ndwdhs of FarruJchdbad. [No. 4, 
Dauri Rasulpur, four miles south-east of the town of Budaon. On the 
morning of Monday the 12th Zi’l Hajj * (22nd Nov. 1748), Kaim Khan 
gave the order for battle. Putting on his war attire, he rode out on his 
elephant followed by fifteen of his brothers,! and the principal leaders and 
relations of Mahmud Khan Bakhshi, namely, Ma’zum Khan, ’Azim Khan, 
Yusuf Khan, Sa’dat Khan, S ala bat Khan, Ahmad Khan and other§, besides 
the friendly Rajahs. 
The chelas, Shamsher Khan, Mukim Khan, Islam Khan, Ja’far Khan, 
Rustam Khan, Kama! Khan, Khan Bahadur Khan, were sent on as an ad¬ 
vanced guard. They advanced rapidly towards the grove of mango trees 
where were posted the Rohela leaders, ITafiz Rahmat Khan, Donde Khan, 
Path Khan, and others. Shamsher Khan made his attack at the south 
corner of the hdgh, and putting its defenders to the sword captured their 
guns. Some of the Rohelas, who had climbed the trees unperceived by 
the other side, suddenly poured down arrows and balls like as if the heavens 
had fallen to the earth. Several of the bullets struck the chain armour of 
Khan Bahadur Khan, and an arrow grazed Shamsher Khan upon the fore¬ 
head. Many of the men were killed. After this Kaim Khan and the lead¬ 
ing men arrived with their elephants to re-inforce the first attack. A dis¬ 
charge of arrows and musketry was delivered, and then their men drawing 
their swords put many of the Rohelas to death. 
At the very moment of the contest at the south corner, Ma’zum Khan, 
brother of Mahmud Khan, Manavvar Khan, and Namdar Khan, brother of 
Tzzat Khan, advanced against Sa’dullah Khan, who was in position at the 
north corner of the same lagh. They fought their way close up to Sa’d¬ 
ullah Khan. Manavvar Khan had in his hand an iron mace (gurz). He had 
raised it to fell Sa’dullah Khan, when Ma’zum Khan cried out “ Brother, 
take him alive,” and at the same time drove his own elephant forward, in¬ 
tending to throw his cloth (chadar), made into a noose, over Sa’dullah Khan’s 
head, thus dragging him from the one elephant on to the other. Sa’dullah 
Khan crouched down in his hoivclah, and the noose missed him. Just at 
this moment Mulla Sardar Khan Bakhshi with some horsemen and match- 
lockmen rushed up from his battery, which was to the south of the bagh , 
and the whole of the Bangash leaders and their elephants came under fire. 
Ma’zum Khan, ’Azim Khan, Sabbat Khan, Jalal Khan and other Afridi 
leaders were killed.
