While the victorious troops were in the act of plundering the enemy's camp, the King arrived with seventy followers and some elephants, and encamped till the next day. He evinced his approbation by marks of honour which he conferred on the victors; and in the morning moved with such rapidity, that before evening he arrived before Dowlutabad, and took measures to besiege it. - [Previous: 67.4.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.67.4.5) - [Next: 67.4.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.67.4.7) - [Up: 67.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.67.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.67.4.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.67.4.6) · Pramāṇa
