Thus was conquest made and victory won. Then the Raje had the Khan's son and those sardars who were attempting to escape, captured and brought to him. He himself descended from the fort, met all his men as well as Afzal Khan's men, and as many of his soldiers' sons as were of fighting age; treated them kindly and [25] reassured them, and took into his service the sons of the combatants who had fallen (in the action). He directed that the widows of those who had no sons, should be maintained by (a pension) half (their husbands') pay. The wounded were given (rewards of) two hundred, one hundred, twenty-five or fifty Hons per man, according to the nature of their wound. Warriors of renown and commanders of brigades were given horses and elephants in reward. Some were sumptuously rewarded with (ornaments like) bracelets, necklaces, crests, medallions, earrings, and crests of pearl. Such were the presents conferred on the men. Some were rewarded with grants of villages in mokasa.
