I now went to the steps of a temple, where many persons had taken shelter out of the way of the arrows flying about the streets and the sword-blows being distributed in all directions. Nor was it without some trouble that I got in even there. Next a Brahman refused to let me stop, thrusting me forth by force. But God repaid him for his want of charity, for while he was interfering with me, there came an arrow and hit him on the leg and I was rid of him. The thieves withdrew, and I, too, found a refuge again in the bazar, but not in the same shop, for I feared greatly they might come there once more. I spent the night in the discomfort that everyone can imagine. At dawn, feeling much afflicted, I chewed a clove, washing it down with a little warm water, whereupon I vomited several clots of thickened blood, and felt relieved. I continued my journey up to the crossing on the river [? the Bhīma] . Although it is wide, there were no boats ; I crossed seated on a small bedstead attached to the tops of four pots. I then reached Paranda (Parenda), in the Mogul territory, where I came across my friends of the fortress of Bhakkar. They took compassion on my poverty, regaled me, succoured me with money, clothes, and a mount, on which I resumed my travels and arrived at Aurangabad [132].
