14.5

"On Thursday, the 13th of Ramaz&n, the royal canopy cast its shadow on Deogir, which under the aid of heaven had been protected by the angels, and there the army determined to make all preparations for extirpating Bill&l Deo and other Deos (demons). The Rai R&y&n, Ram Deo, who had heard safety to Satan proclaimed by the dreadful Muhammadan tymbals, considered himself safe under the protection secured to him; and, true to his allegiance, forwarded with all his heart the preparations necessary for the equipment of the army sent by the Court, so as to render it available for the extermination of rebels and the destruction of the Bir and Dh&r Samundar." The city was adorned in honour of the occasion, and food and clothes plentifully supplied to the Musulm&ns.
