The Book of Akbar 138.7

138.7

Such a battle raged on the right and left wings that the earth quaked and the universe resounded with the clangour. The left wing of the enemy moved against the imperial right and fell upon Khusru Kokultash, Malik Qasim and Baba Qushqa. Chin Timur Sultan was ordered to go to their assistance and by his intrepid aid he drove the enemy nearly to the rear of their centre. A noble reward was assigned to him for this. Mustafa Rumi brought forward the carts from the centre of his Highness Jahanbani’s division and by his matchlocks and culverins (zarbzan) so broke up the ranks of the enemy that the rust was scoured off from the mirror-hearts of the brave combatants, and many of the enemy were laid level with the earth and were annihilated. And, as from time to time, the hostile troops advanced, so did his Majesty Giti-sitani send on picked men to succour his victorious soldiers.
