170.2.3

When the ranks were duly marshalled, the Sultan seized a lance and attacked the elephant on which Gobind Rae Rae [Rajah] of Dihli, was mounted, and on which elephant he moved about in front of the battle. The Sultan-i-Ghazi, who was the Haidar of the time, and a second Rustam, charged and struck Gobind Rae on the mouth with his lance with such effect that two of that accursed one's teeth fell into his mouth. He launched a javelin at the Sultan of Islam and struck him in the upper part of the arm and inflicted a very severe wound. The Sultan turned his charger’s head round and receded, and from the agony of the wound he was unable to continue on horseback any longer. Defeat befell the army of Islam so that it was irretrievably routed, and the Sultan was very nearly falling from his horse. Seeing which, a lion [hearted] warrior, a Khalj stripling, recognized the Sultan, and sprang up behind him, and, supporting him in his arms, urged the horse with his voice, and brought him out of the field of battle. On the Musalman forces not seeing the Sultan, lamentation broke from them, until they reached a place where the defeated army was safe from pursuit by the infidels. army was formed into a circle. Mahommed, who was in person in the center (sic) of the line when first formed, was told that his right and left wings were defeated, and advised to provide for his own safety.
