Here Haidar Kuli, a follower of Amir Khwaja Kalan, who had been sent on under orders to collect intelligence, came back and made his report that Daud Khan and Haitam Khan, with 5000 or 6000 men, had advanced in the vicinity of the river, and, crossing over the Jumna, had sat down three or four kos in advance of the camp of Sultan Ibrahim. So for the purpose of overthrowing and destroying this force, there were sent on from the camp, vast as the firmament, Chin Timur Sultan, Saiyid Mahdi Khwaja, Muhammad Sultan Mirza, and 'Adil Sultan; from the amirs of the left wing—Sultan Junaid Birlas, Khwaja Shah Mir Husain, and Amir Katlak Kadam; from the amirs of the centre—Amir Yunas 'Ali, Amir 'Abdu-llah Kitab-dar, Amir Ahmadi Parwanachi, and Amir Kitta Beg. Having placed the saddle upon the horse of victory, and unfurled in the sky the banner of resolution, the royal lieutenants crossed the Jumna after noon-day prayers on Sunday, the 8th Jumada-l akhir.
