'Ali Kuli, who was at that place, came against him. The valour of the Afghan troops enabled them to overcome him in the first attack, and many Mughals fell. 'Ali Kuli fled, accompanied by a few followers, and all his property and valuables fell into the hands of the Afghans. Himun, rejoiced at this victory, sent an account of his success, together with the spoils captured from the Mughals, to 'Adil Shah, who was exceedingly pleased when he received it, and looked on this first piece of good fortune as a proof that he was always destined to be victorious. He gave a great festival, and sent Himun a dress of honour, adorned with jewels and worked with gold thread, and an elephant, and made him promises of unlimited favour.
