But the horses of the Shaikh attracted the attention of Nar Singh, and he halted. The driver of the Shaikh’s female elephant was with him, and pointed out his wounded lord. As soon as Nar Singh saw him, he dismounted, and taking his head upon his knees, began to wipe his mouth with his own garment. Jabbar, observing from behind the tree that Nar Singh was in a compassionate mood, came forward and saluted him. Nar Singh asked who he was. Just then the Shaikh unclosed his eyes. Nar Singh, sitting as he was, saluted him, and telling his attendants to bring the farman, said to the Shaikh with blandishment, “The all-conquering lord has sent for you courteously.” The Shaikh looked bitterly at him. Nar Singh swore that he would carry him in safety to him. The Shaikh began to abuse him angrily. Nar Singh’s attendants then told him he would not be able to convey him away, for the wound was mortal; upon hearing which, Jabbar drew his sword, and, slaying several Rajputs, had nearly reached Nar Singh, when they killed and trampled him under foot. Nar Singh then rose from the Shaikh’s head, and his attendants despatched him, and, cutting off the head of that great one, started off, meddling with no one else, but even releasing those whom they had taken prisoners. - [Previous: 1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.halat-i-asad-beg~en-elliot.1.8) - [Next: 2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.halat-i-asad-beg~en-elliot.2.1) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.halat-i-asad-beg~en-elliot.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.halat-i-asad-beg~en-elliot.1.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.halat-i-asad-beg~en-elliot.1.9) · Pramāṇa
