Altoon Tash being persuaded to enter into this scheme, the Moguls returned next morning to the camp, which was still in disorder, to the army which was moving on like a caravan, without a guide, and without system or arrangement, and after a sharp skirmish, loaded several camels with treasure, plundering several treasure-chests which were laden upon camels, took captive many children of both sexes, and were not sparing in their pillage. - [Previous: 2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-elliot.2.1) - [Next: 2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-elliot.2.3) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-elliot.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-elliot.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-elliot.2.2) · Pramāṇa
