But it seems as if God meant to punish the sins and lasciviousness of Shahjahan and the overweening pride of Hindustan. For there came once more to Dara a piece of news still more overwhelming — that is, the death of Ram Singh, Rathor. This rajah attacked with such energy the prince Murad Bakhsh that he penetrated the enemy's ranks, and gave them much to do. He dispersed their vanguard, captured their artillery, and coming close up to Murad Bakhsh with his brave Rajputs, stuck his elephant and its howdah full of arrows, and killed the cornac, or man who guides the elephant. Finally they planted three arrows in the face of Murad Bakhsh. He had as much as he could do to defend his life, to guide his elephant, and look after his restless infant son. The boy was so anxious to see what was going on that his father was forced to cover him with his shield and place one foot over his head.
