As his head was still troubled by the fumes of several bottles of Kabul wine that he had lately drunk, he fell at once into a fury and ordered his cavalry to lose not a moment in massacring 'Aziz Khan and his men. Measures were taken immediately to carry out this barbarous order ; but the men composing the attacking force met with more resistance than they had bargained for, and they were forced into fighting at close quarters. The contest was not a happy one for 'Aziz Khan ; he lost his life, while his five hundred men were cut to pieces. It is true that almost an equal number perished on the other side in executing the prince's order. He had given the order in anger while heated with wine, and did not fail to repent of it as soon as both those incentives had evaporated. - [Previous: 281.2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.2.1) - [Next: 281.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.2.3) - [Up: 281.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.2.2) · Pramāṇa
