It is commonly said that I'timadu-d daula Kamru-d din Khan, who, with the intention of expelling the enemy, was then encamped near Kaman Pahari, also returned to Dehli. In the mean time, Raja Jai Singh, having marched from Jaipur with an army of fifty thousand Rajput horse and above seventy elephants, advanced as far as the town of Nimrana; but when he heard the news of Burhanu-l Mulk's march towards the capital, he returned to Jaipur. The enemy's army, having sacked the village of Nakal, near Dehli, went to the shrine of the great Khwaja Kutbu-d din; but as they could not obtain admittance, they plundered the inhabitants of the place, and the next day appeared before the Barahpola. Early in the morning, according to the Emperor's orders, Mir Hasan Khan, the commandant of the Emperor's body-guard, came out to oppose him with a body of one thousand mansabdari horse. Immediately behind him, Amir Khan, and other nobles, with a large army and artillery, came out of the city, and stood before the enemy; but as they had not been ordered to fight, they did not commence the battle. Mir Hasan Khan and Raja Sheo Singh, however, advanced and fought valiantly. \* \* During the fight the enemy retreated, and pitched their tents near Tal Katora. - [Previous: 15.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-hindi~en-elliot.15.3) - [Next: 15.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-hindi~en-elliot.15.5) - [Up: 15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-hindi~en-elliot.15) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-hindi~en-elliot.15.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-hindi~en-elliot.15.4) · Pramāṇa
