It was upon this latter body that the Emperor's eye now fell. They replied: "We are Mirza Haidar's followers." The Emperor then \[addressing me\] said: "You are still too young to take part in such serious affairs as these. Stay by me; \[keep by you\] Maulana Muhammad and a few others, and send the rest to the aid of Mirza Khan." When my retainers came up with Mirza Khan, the Uzbeg made a charge, bearing down \[bar ddshtand\] every one who was in front of Mirza Khan, till they came close upon the Mirza himself. At that crisis my retainers arrived on the scene. Their leader was Ataka Fakir, whose name was Jan Ahmad Ataka; hereafter, wherever his name occurs, he will be called by the latter style. He attacked the Uzbeg with the men under him, and put them to flight. Then those who had fled from before Mirza Khan rallied, and returning to the fight, drove the enemy back. In the midst of this confusion and scuffle, one of my men took one of the enemy prisoner, and led him before the Emperor, who viewed it as a good omen \[fál\], and said: "Inscribe the name of Mirza Haidar upon the first trophy \[yildush\]." Thus, fighting continued on the left of the army till evening. But on the Emperor's side \[of the army\] there were no engagements, for the road was very narrow, and his position was not easy of approach from either side. - [Previous: 135.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.135.2) - [Next: 135.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.135.4) - [Up: 135](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.135) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.135.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.135.3) · Pramāṇa
