On the 17th Rabiu-l-awal of the aforesaid year, both sides arranged themselves in battle-array. On one side were arrayed Muzaffar Jang and the Christian French, and on the other the Afghans. Himmat Khan and other Afghan Generals, meeting with their deserts for disloyalty, were killed, whilst Muzaffar Jang from an arrow-shot which pierced the pupil of his eye was also killed. After this, the Christian French entered the service of Amiru-l-Mumalik Salabat Jang, third son of Asaf Jah, received as jagirs Sikakul and Rajbandari, &c., and acquired so much influence, that their orders became current in the Dakhin. No Musalman ruler had before this taken into employ the Christian French, though from a long period they used to frequent the ports of the Dakhin. It was Muzaffar Jang who taking the Christian French into his service, introduced them into the Moslem dominions. - [Previous: 119.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.119.3) - [Next: 119.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.119.5) - [Up: 119](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.119) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.119.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.119.4) · Pramāṇa
