3.1.8

Nizám Khán and his troops turned their faces towards the field with the same courage which their predecessors had displayed on the day of the fight. The Prince was accompanied by a body of his most valiant warriors well armed, and the Khwájagí Sa'íd went before him on horseback. The Khwájagí glanced two or three times at the Prince, who asked him what he noticed. He replied: "Your slave sees that you are surrounded by gallant youths: if you lead them well, you may hope for victory; if you do not choose to do this, you are, of course, at liberty to do what you please. Just consider what your troops are capable of performing. Tátár Khán may have 15,000 horsemen, but he does not possess ten such as these. If the Most High be pleased to grant victory to your troops, your wishes will be accomplished; if not, you can easily effect your escape, for you are mounted on a swift horse, and could never be overtaken."
