Muntakhab al-tawarikh 12.10

The day after the victory Husain Khan arrived at Tulamba, with eighty or ninety men, and drums beating. Husain Kuli Khan showed him the battle-field, and told him of each man's exploits. Husain Khan then said, "As the enemy has escaped alive, you must pursue him and take him prisoner, for the business is not yet completed." Husain Kuli Khan replied that he had come from Nagarkot by forced marches, that his forces had suffered many hardships in that mountainous country, and were not in condition. A complete victory had been secured, and now there was an opportunity for other friends. Husain Khan now hoped that his turn was come, and that the hardships and the forced march of five hundred kos had opened a way for him, so he took his leave, and pressed forward. Some men, who were worn out with fatigue, he sent to Lahore with the elephants and drums. With a small party of men he took up the pursuit of the Mirza. There was but a short distance between him and the unfortunate Mirza, when one night the Mirza and about four hundred horsemen halted on the banks of the Biyah and Sutlej, where the rivers unite. The j'hils, who are a low class of Multan peasants, having collected together, made a night attack upon him, and assailed him with arrows. The Mirza, with a party of men, some wounded and some disabled, did what they could to beat off their assailants; but the j'hils came on successfully.
