He mixed with the royal guards. Islám Sháh was at the time standing surrounded by a circle of war elephants, and Sa'íd Khán was, consequently, unable to reach him immediately. He was shortly afterwards recognized by one of the elephant-drivers, who gave the alarm, and was slain by a thrust of Sa'íd's spear. Sa'íd's valour and strength enabled him to make good his escape from the place where the royal guards were. The Niázis fled to Dínkot, which is near Roh. After their defeat, they were hindered in their flight by the marshy ground in the neighbourhood of Ambála, which prevented their horses from proceeding, and consequently Islám Sháh's troops who were in pursuit coming up with them, made a great slaughter of the Niázis. Islám Sháh followed them in person as far as New Rohtas, and there appointed Khwája Wais Sarwáni, with an immense army, to prosecute the war with the Niázis, after which he turned back towards Ágra and Gwálior. He proceeded by uninterrupted marches from Rohtas to Ágra, where he halted two or three days, and then went on to Gwálior, and remained there. - [Previous: 11.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.11.2.5) - [Next: 11.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.11.2.7) - [Up: 11.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.11.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.11.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.11.2.6) · Pramāṇa
