32.1.2

put under the administration of Nevol-ray, a man whose excesses and violences cause a revolt — An Afghan Heroine rouses the whole nation — Nevol-ray defeated and slain — The Vezir, already much incensed, marches against the Afghans — By the way his unruly Moghul troops plunder and sack the town of Barr, wholly inhabited by Seyds — The Vezir, in despair at such calamity, marches against the Afghans, against whom, his troops impressed with superstitious notions at the sacrileges committed lately in the sack and plunder, misbehave and are totally defeated — The Vezir, grievously wounded, is obliged to follow the runaways — The Afghans, after this unexpected victory, attempt Belgram and Lucknow, where they are roughly handled by the inhabitants, a race renowed for bravery ; but they plunder and sack Ilah-abad, without however being able to take the Castle of that City—Singular appearance of a brave Fakyr, who daily exposes himself, daily attacks the enemy, and seems to be invulnerable—The Vezir undismayed by his defeat, makes a spirited and very sarcastical answer to those that thought him undone for ever—Even his Consort thinks of sustaining a siege in her Palace—The Vezir raises another army, plunders Feroh-abad, and beats the Afghans, who submit to their Conquerors.
