He had almost fallen, when some of his chiefs advanced to his rescue. This effort to save him gave an opportunity to one of his faithful servants to leap up behind Mahomed Ghoory, who, faint from loss of blood, had nearly fallen from his horse, but was carried triumphantly off the field, although almost wholly deserted by his army, which was pursued by the enemy nearly forty miles, &c. Maurice, Murray, Elphinstone, Marshman, and Meadows Taylor, and probably others, such as Mill and Thornton, take their accounts from the above versions of Dow and Briggs.

I have examined have Bathindah\] which, in that day, had become the capital of Rajahs of great dignity, out of the hands of the men of the Rajah of Ajmir. He left Malik Ziya-ud-Din, Tulaki, in that fortress, with 1200 horsemen, each and every one of whom was selected and a picked man ; and was desirous of returning. - [Previous: 170.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.170.2.4) - [Next: 170.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.170.2.6) - [Up: 170.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.170.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.170.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.170.2.5) · Pramāṇa
