arose weeping and wailing in every lane and in every house. Not a house¬ 
hold was left untouched by this sorrowful event, and the fate of thousands 
was never traced. Many had been wounded and taken prisoners, many were 
found dead on the field Of these latter, those that were recognized were 
carried away and interred in the graveyards. 
The body of the slain Nawab, clad in rich garments and followed by 
holy men and mourners, was despatched from the battle-field to Farruk ha- 
bad.* The next day but one, three headless corpses were laid at the feet of 
the Bibi Sahiba. Kaim Khan was identified by a lily mark on his foot. It 
is a coloured mark on the sole of the foot, and he who has it is destined to 
bear rule. The Bibi Sahiba after her lamentations were over, took the body 
of her son, and wrapping it in the clothes he wore when slain, carried it out 
to the Haiyat Bagh for burial at the side of his venerable father. 
The following chronograms give the year of Kaim Khan’s death : 
I. — Kdim-i-bihisht shud (1162). 
“ He stood firm in paradise.” 
II. — Kanjashf ba-bdz hard shikar (1163). 
“ The sparrow pursues the hawk.” 
III. — Pah be-bad shahid Kaim Khan (LI 62). 
After the victory the Rohelas felt as if they had been raised from the 
dead, and they offered up a thousand prayers and thanks to God. Then 
with drums beating a triumphal march, they returned to their capital of 
Anwalah; and parties were sent out to overrun and occupy the Farrukhabad 
parganahs on the north or left bank of the Ganges. These consisted at 
that time of ten mahals : 1, Budaon, 2, Auseth, 3, Jalalabad, 4, Mihrabad 
5, Ausaya, 6, Aujhani, 7, Khakatmau-Dahlya, and three others not named 
(two of them probably 8, Amritpur-Islamganj and 9, Paramnagar, and 
the third perhaps 10, Sahaswan). The Rohelas advanced as far as Kha- 
katmau, opposite Farrakhabad, where they first met with resistance. A 
chela who was ’Amil of the place showed a strong front and kept up a 
vigorous musketry fire at the enemy, many of whom were killed. He would 
not abandon his parganah, and the Rohelas thinking there was no need to 
entangle themselves in brambles, left the place and marched back. All the 
rest of the Trans-Ganges country was thus lost permanently to the Far¬ 
rukhabad Nawabs. Only Amritpur, Khakatmau and Paramnagar were pre¬ 
served through the courage of this nameless chela.f

* The Gulistdn-i-Rahniat describes in some detail the finding of the body; but 
the Kadikat-ul-AIcdKm says it was never found. Reports spread of Kaim Jang-’s being 
still alive, and Shekh Allahyar once saw a man who obtained notoriety for several 
years by giving himself out to be Kaim Jang.
