At sight of this, Hossein-aaly-khan ordered his military music to strike up in token of victory and rejoicing, and sending his people after the Afghan's elephant, which was soon overtaken, he ordered his corpse to be fastened to that animal's foot, and dragged throughout the whole city of B8rhanp8r. It may be asked what has become of Bimba-dji and his Marhatta Cavalry, of which we have said not a word. And the answer will be short. The man, like a true Marhatta, contented himself with scampering about at the beginning of the action, and then remained motionless like any common spectator; so that when he saw that victory had turned towards Hossein-aaly-khan, he galloped over, and presented him his Nuzur as did all his officers. And all this while his Marhattas having broke in the enemy's camp, were plundering every thing they could lay their hands upon. Nevertheless, there still remained much booty for the victorious army; and the whole of Da8d-khan's equipage, money, horses and elephants were seized for the Viceroy's use, a small part of which only he vouchsafed to send to the Emperor, and that, too, after a length of time.
