It looks as if God had inspired me with this resolve not to go with him in order to save my life. When he reached the territories of Kabul, puffed up with pride as he was, he tried to interfere with the Pathans, and was not content to do as other viceroys had done. They had managed to keep friends with these most warlike folk. But he, as soon as he arrived, sent word to the Pathans that he required them to pay tribute; otherwise he would make war, and oblige them to do by force what they declined to do from affection. This was enough to give the Pathans an opportunity of destroying him. Taking no notice \[154\] of the affront, they allowed Muhammad Amin Khan with forty thousand horse, in addition to infantry numbering two hundred thousand and his baggage, to enter into the mountains near Pexor (Peshawar). When the imperialists had advanced into the hills, the Pathans blocked the routes. One morning, while it was still dark, all the Pathans came, marching on foot, and having manned the tops of the surrounding hills, they began to shout as with one voice, so frightening the men of Muhammad Amin Khan that they were like a pinha (a pine-tree — i.e., they trembled ?). Then the hillmen descended on the Moguls with a great rush, their bare swords in their hands. - [Previous: 148.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.148.7) - [Next: 149.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.149.2) - [Up: 149](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.149) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.149.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.149.1) · Pramāṇa
