Takmila-i Akbar-náma, of ’Ináyatu-lla (Elliot & Dowson, extracts) 4 - **Language:** English ### [4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.takmilah-i-akbar-namah~en-elliot.4) A splendid victory was gained by the Khan-khanan over Ambar. It had been reported by Mir Murtaza and Sher Khwaja, that Ambar had been joined by Farhad with 2000 horse, and had strengthened himself in Nandeir. The Khan determined to send his own son, Mirza Trich, with a body of brave followers, against him. As fate had ordained the day of punishment for Ambar to approach, he was sufficiently bold to draw out his forces, and prepare for battle in the vicinity of Nandeir. Mirza Trich, chafing at his insolence, marshalled his brave forces and attacked him. The centre and left soon bore down their opponents, and if the right had in like manner gained the same honourable title to fame, it is most probable that the whole of the enemy would have been taken, and the sedition quelled at once. Even as it was, twenty elephants, with all the enemy’s equipage, were taken. - [Previous: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.takmilah-i-akbar-namah~en-elliot.3) - [Next: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.takmilah-i-akbar-namah~en-elliot.5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.takmilah-i-akbar-namah~en-elliot.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.takmilah-i-akbar-namah~en-elliot.4) · Pramāṇa
