The Akbarnama (H. Beveridge), vols. I–II 131 - **Language:** English ### [131](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.131) As the Protector and Doer desired to repair old defeats and to convert past afflictions into felicities, He arranged the preliminaries for this, and set things in order. Among such arrangements were the advancing of Sultan Ibrahim for the purpose of giving battle and the drawing up of the army of his Majesty Giti-sitani. As the Divine aid was accompanying the latter, and ever-increasing fortune was in his van, he, in spite of a plenitude of difficulties and a paucity of favouring circumstances, had recourse with a tranquil mind and firm soul to the inalterable Arbiter and addressed himself to the marshalling of his troops. The centre was adorned by the presence of his Majesty in person. In the right centre which the Turks call unk-ghul, Timur Sultan, Sulaiman Mirza, Amir Muhammadi Kokultash, Amir Shah Mansur Barlas, Amir Yunus 'Ali, Amir Darwesh Muhammad Sarban, Amir 'Abdu-l-lah Kitabdar were stationed. On the left centre which the Turks call sul-ghul, Amir Khalifa, Khwaja Mir Miran Sadr, Amir Ahmadi Parwanci, Amir Tardi Beg, brother of Kuc Beg, Muhibb ‘Ali Khalifa, Mirza Beg Tarkhan were stationed. The right wing was in charge of his Majesty Jahanbani Jannat-ashiyani; Amir Khwaja Kalan Beg, Sultan Muhammad Duldai, Amir Hindu Beg, Wali Khazin, Pir Quli Sistani were in attendance on him. On the left wing were stationed Muhammad Sultan Mirza, Sayyid Mahdi Khwaja, ‘Adil Sultan, Sultan Junaid Barlas, Khwaja Shah, Mir Husain, Amir Qutluq Qadam, Amir Jan (text, Khan) Beg, Amir Muhammad Bakhshi and other heroes. In the vanguard were Khusru Kokultash and Muhammad ‘Ali Jang-jang; Amir 'Abdu-l-'Aziz had charge of the reserve. At the flank of the right wing, Wali Kazil, Malik Qasim, Baba Qashqa with their Mughals, were appointed as a flanking-party (tulghama). At the extremity of the left wing, were stationed Qaraquzi, Abu-l-Muhammad Nizabaz (lance-player), Shaikh ‘Ali, Shaikh Jamal, Tengri Quli Mughal as a flanking-party. Accordingly the brave swordsmen stood with firm foot on the battle-field and with life-taking arrows (saham) and blood-drinking scimitars displayed bravery and daring. - [Previous: 130](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.130) - [Next: 132.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.132.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.131](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.131) · Pramāṇa
