Rana, Rustam K., Bairam Beg, the Afghan Darya, Taqi, and others whom he had left to confront the royal army. There were five armies (corps ?). Although nominally the command was in the hands of the wretch (har-gashta-i-ruzgar) Darab, yet in reality the leader and centre of the whole affair was Sundar, of evil deeds. These men of darkened fortune pitched in the neighbourhood of Baluchpur to their ruin. On the 8th I pitched at Qabulpur. On this day the turn to take the rear fell upon Baqir K. We had left him behind all the rest. A body of the rebels attacked him on the march, and stretched out the hand of plunder.

On Wednesday, the 9th of the month, having separated 25,000 horse under the leadership of Asaf K., Khwaja Abu-l-Hasan, and ‘Abdu-llah K., I sent them to attack the rebels who did not look to the end of things.
