"Much spoil in slaves and weapons, beyond all enumeration, fell into the possession of the victors." One of the sons of the Kokar Rai, the chief instigator of these hostilities, rushed into the river with "a detachment of his Satanical followers, and fled with one horse from the field of battle to a fort on the hill of Jud, and having escaped the sword, threw into it the last breathings of a dying man." The next day, Muhammad Sam advanced towards the hill of Jud, when the action was renewed, which ended in the capture of the fortress, "and the Hindus like a torrent descended from the top of the hill to the bottom." "The Rai of the hill of Jud, putting on the robes of a Brahman, presented himself like a slave, and kissed the face of the earth before the Sultan," by whom he was admitted to pardon. Immense booty was taken in the fort. The Sultan then advanced to Lahore, accompanied by Kutbu-d din and the chief officers of State, and on Kutbu-d din's taking his audience of leave, before his return to Dehli, he received a dress of honour and an affectionate farewell. - [Previous: 23.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.taj-al-maathir~en-elliot.23.4) - [Next: 24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.taj-al-maathir~en-elliot.24) - [Up: 23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.taj-al-maathir~en-elliot.23) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.taj-al-maathir~en-elliot.23.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.taj-al-maathir~en-elliot.23.5) · Pramāṇa
