933.7.1

The pagan right wing made repeated and desperate attack on the left wing of the army of Islām, falling furiously on the holy warriors, possessors of salvation, but each time was made to turn back or, smitten with the arrows of victory, was _made to descend into Hell, the house of perdition; they shall be thrown to burn therein, and an unhappy dwelling shall it be_.[2085] Then the trusty amongst the nobles, Mūmin Ātāka and Rustam _Turkmān_ betook themselves to the rear[2086] of the host of darkened pagans; and to help them were sent the Commanders Khwāja Maḥmūd and `Alī Ātāka, servants of him who amongst the royal retainers is near the throne, the trusted of the Sulṯānate, Niẕāmu'd-din `Alī Khalīfa.
