On reaching Nagor, they joined Farrukh Khan, and continuing the pursuit, they came up with the Mirza one evening at the village of Katholi, twenty kos from Nagor, but he took the alarm, and managed to make his escape. On the 2nd Ramazan, 980, the troops halted on the banks of a great tank, when the Mirza, who was only a little in advance, turned back and attacked the troops which were in pursuit of him. The troops held their ground and defended themselves. Three times the Mirza, forming his men in two divisions, attacked them on two sides, and showered arrows upon them. Finding he could make no impression, he again fled. One division got separated in the darkness, and the men were scattered in the neighbouring villages, where they were taken prisoners, and many of them were put to death. Nearly 200 fell alive into the hands of Farrukh Khan and the amirs of Joudhpur. - [Previous: 48.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.48.1) - [Next: 48.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.48.3) - [Up: 48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.48) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.48.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.48.2) · Pramāṇa
