Although the object of his proceedings and movements was palpable, Babar strengthened his resolution for the conflict, and resolved to stake his fortunes upon the issue of battle. The heroes of his army also, seeing the enemy's preparations and resolution for fighting, braced up their courage and invigorated their determination. Leading forth the prancing steed of intrepidity into the arena of courage, they raised the banner of energy and resolve over the cerulean sphere. The army intent on victory made two marches from Shahabad, and, displaying the victorious banners on the banks of the Jumna, it encamped opposite to the town of Sirsawah. His Majesty the Khakan, with an escort of his attendants, passed the river by a ford near some trees, and visited the town of Sirsawah. Having gratified his heart with a ma'jun, he proceeded to see the curiosities of the place. A fountain of water in the town attracted his gracious notice, from which a small stream was flowing. - [Previous: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.tabaqat-i-baburi~en-elliot.1) - [Next: 2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.tabaqat-i-baburi~en-elliot.2.2) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.tabaqat-i-baburi~en-elliot.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.tabaqat-i-baburi~en-elliot.2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.tabaqat-i-baburi~en-elliot.2.1) · Pramāṇa
