Here he was joined by Mír Muhammad Khán with his army and all his amirs and attendants, such as * * * and a party of the principal Rajputs, such as Khangár, the nephew of Rája Bhagwán Dás, who had previously marched from Fathpur to support Khán-i 'azam, but whom caution had restrained from advancing beyond Pattan. An order was now issued for all the troops to appear fully armed and accoutred. The amirs accordingly brought out their men, and the Emperor reviewed them. Although he had full trust and hope of heavenly assistance, he neglected no material means of success. He gave the command of the centre, which is the place of the Sultán, to Mirzá Khán, son of (the late) Khán-khánán Bairám Khán, a young man of great parts and promise. He also appointed Saiyid Muhammad Khán Bárha, a man of great bravery, and Shujá'at Khán and Sádik Khán to the centre. The command of the right was given to Mir Muhammad Khán-i kalán, and that of the left to Wazir Khán. The advance, composed of a number of brave fellows, was placed under the command of Muhammad Kuli Khán and Tarkhán Diwána. His Majesty kept under his own immediate direction 100 horsemen, men who had been picked out from a thousand thousand — a reserve intended to support any division which might be hard pressed. Strict orders were issued that no man was to stray from his place.
