Ḥasan Khān of Mīwāt was enrolled in the list of the dead by the force of a matchlock (_ẓarb-i-tufak_); most of those headstrong chiefs of tribes were slain likewise, and ended their days by arrow and matchlock (_tīr u tufak_). Of their number was Rāwal Ūdī Sīngh of Bāgar,[2106] ruler (_wālī_) of the Dungarpūr country, who had 12,000 horse, Rāī Chandrabān _Chūhān_ who had 4,000 horse, Bhūpat Rāo son of that Ṣalāḥu'd-dīn already mentioned, who was lord of Chandīrī and had 6,000 horse, Mānik-chand _Chūhān_ and Dilpat Rāo who had each 4,000 horse, Kankū (or Gangū) and Karm Sīngh and Dankūsī(?)[2107] who had each 3,000 horse, and a number of others, each one of whom was leader of a great [Sidenote: Fol. 324b.] command, a splendid and magnificent chieftain. All these trod the road to Hell, removing from this house of clay to the pit of perdition. The enemy's country (_dāru'l-ḥarb_) was full, as Hell is full, of wounded who had died on the road. The lowest pit was gorged with miscreants who had surrendered their souls to the lord of Hell. In whatever direction one from the army of Islām hastened, he found everywhere a self-willed one dead; whatever march the illustrious camp made in the wake of the fugitives, it found no foot-space without its prostrate foe.
