Tarikh-i Hindi 15.5

15.5

The next morning, on hearing the news of Burhanu-l Mulk's arrival, Baji Rao, the chief of the Mahrattas, rode like a jackal running away at the roar of a tiger, and fled from the place. Kamru-d din Khan, who had advanced with three hundred men, engaged in a severe skirmish, and retired after killing some of his opponents. As Burhanu-l Mulk had advanced without orders and engaged with the enemy, he fell under His Majesty's displeasure, and being distressed at this, he crossed the Jumna without an interview with the Emperor, and returned to his own residence. When the Amiru-l umara and Muhammad Khan were returning to Dehli, the Jats of the village of Mitrol, between Kodal and Palwal, fell on their baggage and plundered it. Consequently the army surrounded the village, and having sacked it, set it on fire. The Amiru-l umara entered the seat of the Empire, and, according to the royal orders, Muhammad Khan returned to Agra for its protection. Towards the end of the same year Nizamu-l Mulk arrived from the Dakhin, and on Monday, the 16th of Rabi'u-l awwal, had an interview with His Majesty in the capital.
