256.6.4

It is stated in the Tarikh-i-Yafa’i, that nearly 30,000 Musalmans fell in this battle, and that among the slain were 4000 women. “In some other Histories it is also stated that, after the flight of the Sultan, the Turks and Khita-is poured into the camp and began to plunder. On their approaching the part where the haram was, Turkan Khatun, the Sultan’s chief consort, and most of the wives of the Amirs, and the soldiery who acted as their guard, defended it against the infidels, and slew a vast number of them; and it was only after 4000 women had fallen that the rest of the haram was captured, including Turkan Khatun. The Gur Khan left the females in charge of those of their own people who remained, and would not allow them to be interfered with. They were treated with honour and reverence, and, soon after, were sent back to the Sultan in Khurasan.”
