Then Rustam Khan and Chhatar Sal Rae, although they had suffered by the first discharge from the enemy, came up and collected as many fresh men as they could. Dara did the same. Then with such vigour, courage, wrath, and violence did he attack his opponents that he broke through the guns and penetrated to their camp, putting to the rout camels, infantry, and everything that was to be found in that direction. Seeing the boldness of Dara, the enemy then sent as reinforcement a large division led by Secmir (Shekh Mir), teacher of Aurangzeb, and other famous captains. This body made all haste, and at this point arose the hottest of the fighting on both sides. At length, coming to closer quarters, they took to their swords with the greatest vigour. Dara continued to hold his ground, seated on his elephant, shouting and making signs with his hands. He advanced always with the greatest composure, until, unable to bear up against this stout resistance, the enemy was forced to retire. - [Previous: 65.23.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.23.2) - [Next: 65.23.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.23.4) - [Up: 65.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.23) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.23.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.23.3) · Pramāṇa
