It is said that five thousand men on the side of Amiru-l umara met with the honour of martyrdom, among whom were Muzaffar Khan, his brother, Mir Kallu, 'Ali Hamid Khan, Yadgar Khan, Lodi Khan, and other nobles. In the evening Amiru-l umara, with a few of his men, returned from the field to his tent, wounded and sorrowful. The next day he set in array a new army, with the intention of hazarding another battle, and defeating Nadir Shah, who had trembled at the courage displayed. But the Amir fell, and drank the cup of martyrdom. - [Previous: 17.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-hindi~en-elliot.17.3) - [Next: 17.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-hindi~en-elliot.17.5) - [Up: 17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-hindi~en-elliot.17) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-hindi~en-elliot.17.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-hindi~en-elliot.17.4) · Pramāṇa
