65.2.4

His mother afterwards rode on the camel, and they traversed that road which was so terribly difficult, amid constant alarms of the attack of Maldeo, [and with intense labour and distress. In the middle of the night they reached a place of safety; by chance the Hindus of Maldeo’s army] pursuing them through the night, missed their war, and in the morning, in a narrow pass, came upon the rear-guard of the enemy, who were two and twenty in number. Jauhar Aftabchi and Roshan Beg Koka, and another party of men who belonged to that side having arrived, a battle ensued. In the very first onset the leader of the Hindus went to hell from an arrow-wound, and a large number were killed. They could not withstand the attack, and many camels fell into the hands of the Muslims. This victory was the occasion of great rejoicing.
