Julal-ood-Deen Feroze, having received advices of the approach of the enemy, collected his army and moved forward to oppose them. On reaching the frontiers of Beiram, the Moguls were perceived in front beyond a small river. Both armies encamped for the space of five days upon either side of this stream, during which time their advanced posts skirmished frequently, with some losses on either side. At length, as if by mutual consent, they selected an extensive plain on which on the sixth morning they drew up in order of battle, and fought a general action. The Moguls, after an obstinate contest, were defeated, many of their chiefs slain, and about a thousand prisoners taken. Among the latter were two omras, and several officers of distinction. The King, however, did not avail himself of the victory, but granted peace to the invaders, with permission to withdraw from his dominions. The Moguls having gladly accepted these terms, presents were interchanged as tokens of amity. When the Moguls retreated, Oghloo Khan, a grandson of Chungiz Khan, perceiving that he had little chance of power or distinction among the many blood relations of that warrior who were still alive, induced 3000 of his countrymen to join Julal-ood-Deen Feroze, whose daughter was given to him in marriage. - [Previous: 35.3.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.35.3.6) - [Next: 35.3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.35.3.8) - [Up: 35.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.35.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.35.3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.35.3.7) · Pramāṇa
