2.2.1

Next morning I marched, and halted at Parsarur, where Muhammad 'Ali Jang-Jang, Khwaja Husain, and some others, accordingly came and waited on me. As the enemy's camp was on the banks of the Ravi, towards Lahore, I sent out Bujkah with his party to reconnoitre and bring in intelligence. About the end of the third watch of the night they came back with information that the enemy, immediately on getting notice of their approach, had fled away in consternation, every man shifting for himself. On the following morning, leaving Shah Mir Husain, and some other officers, to guard the camp and baggage, I separated from them, and pushed on with all possible speed. We reached Kalanur about the middle of afternoon prayers and halted. Muhammad Sultan Mirza, 'Adil Sultan, and the other amirs, came here and waited on me.
