The eyes of Candi Ra, king of Delhi, fell upon him. He drove the elephant, upon which he was mounted, directly against him. Mahommed, rising from his horse, threw his lance with such force at the elephant, that he drove out three of his back teeth [the elephant’s ! !]. In the meantime the King of Delhi, from above, pierced the Sultan through the right arm, and had almost thrown him to the ground ; when some of his chiefs advanced to his rescue. This gave an opportunity, to one of his faithful servants, to leap behind him as he was sinking from his horse, and, supporting him in his arms, he carried him from the field, which, by this time, was deserted almost by his whole army. The enemy pursued them near forty miles.” circle. Mahomed Ghoory was in person in the centre of his line, and, being informed that both wings were defeated, was advised to provide for his own safety. Enraged at this counsel, HE CUT down the messenger, and, rushing on towards the enemy, with a few followers, committed terrible slaughter. The eyes of ’Chawand Rae falling on him, he drove his elephant directly against Mahomed Ghoory, who, perceiving his intention, charged and delivered his lance full into the Raja’s mouth, by which many of his teeth were knocked out.
