The Chachnamah, an Ancient History of Sind 38 - **Language:** English ### [38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.38) The writers of this history (literally the tire-women of these brides) have related that the next day when the creation-adorning morn showed its heart-exhilarating beauty to the world from the horizon of the east, it was a Thursday, and Dahar issued forth with his son Jaisiah. He was in the centre of the army, with 10,000 brave horsemen around him, all encased in iron, and some of them, whose hair hung loose, held drawn swords while others whose hair was tied in knots, bore swords and shields. Thus they advanced and stood opposite the ranks of the Mussalman army. Dahar was seated on a white elephant surrounded by other elephants, with some more in the rear. On his right was Jaisiah with Abá son of Hasan, Kírad the elder and Kírad the younger and on his left was his nephew Jahín with Bashar son of Haol and Wákiah son of Bashar. His other son Daharsiah, with Rásil, the ruler of Kúnhab and Nailah, Jinah and some other chief men of Sind, and Bakhíarí, Saráhíl, Sanj, Asbar, Lakíalha, and all the Jats of the eastern part of the country stood marshalled in the rear. Great swordsmen and slaughterers were put in front of the centre, and out of the elephants two were placed to the left, and the rest with the cavalry were sent under the command of Jahín to face the army of Islám. - [Previous: 37.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.37.5) - [Next: 39.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.39.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.38) · Pramāṇa
