When we left that place, \[only\] a fifth part of the army were mounted, all the rest proceeded on foot. On the second day we plundered the province of Ham \[or Hari\]. The people of that place assert that it is twenty-four days' journey into Bangala. Many captives were taken by us. Those of our army who were mounted on serviceable horses, only numbered ninety men. With these ninety, I advanced and plundered a place called Askabrak. About 100,000 sheep, 20,000 kutas and a proportionate number of prisoners and horses, fell into our hands. There remained eight days' journey from Askabrak to Ursang. However, the horses of our party being entirely broken down, we were obliged to turn back. Six days later, we reunited and set out on our return. This took place on the 8th of Rabi II. On the last day of Jamad II. we overtook the party that had been sent back with the booty and plunder, at a place called Tamlik, which is twenty days' journey from Maryul.
