65.23.4

I saw in this action, as in so many others where I was afterwards present, that the only soldiers who fought were those well to the front. Of those more to the rear, although holding their bared swords in their hands, the Moguls did nothing but shout ' Boquox, boquox !' (Ba-kush ! ba-kush !), and the Indians 'Mar! mar!' (Mar! mar!)— that is to say, 'Kill! kill !' If those in the front advanced, those behind followed the example, and if the former retired the others fled, a custom of Hindustan quite contrary to that of Europe ; and if they begin to take to flight, by no method is it possible to stop them.
