When all had gone through the kâroh-wearers closed up the gap in their line, and the prince with his elephant and all his cavalry were slain. When the armies of Bahram Shah saw this manoeuvre and its bloody result, they broke and fled. 'Alau-d din pursued them from stage to stage until they reached a place called Josh-ab-garm (hot wells) near Takinabad. Here Bahrám Shah made a stand, but was again defeated. 'Alau-d din followed in hot pursuit, and Bahram Shah having drawn together some of his scattered forces, and some reinforcements from Ghazni, he a third time gave battle, and once more was routed. - [Previous: 20.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-elliot.20.4) - [Next: 20.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-elliot.20.6) - [Up: 20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-elliot.20) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-elliot.20.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-elliot.20.5) · Pramāṇa
