Farrukh Khān and some brave men formed the altamsh, and Yūsuf Muḥammad Khān Kokaltāsh with some gallant heroes took post between the centre and the altamsh. As Atka Khān was not certain of his men he took oaths and promises from them, and strengthened their hearts before engaging. Though Bairām Khān had not many men with him, they were of good quality. He also placed much reliance on the royal army, as many from an evil disposition and double-tonguedness were sending him letters. When these two forces engaged in the village of Gunācūr in the middle of Shahrīyār, Divine month, corresponding to the early part of Zī-al-ḥajja, 23d August, there were brave feats on both sides.
