65.29.6

When it was six o'clock in the evening, there appeared all of a sudden two elephants with covered howdahs, such as are used for harem women, with an escort of four thousand cavalry armed with sword and lance, under the command of Khan, who had lately joined. There were other four thousand horsemen, armed in the same way, under the command of Bahadur Khan, foster-brother of Aurangzeb. Entering the tent enclosures, one body from the east and the other from the west, Murad Bakhsh was fastened upon the elephant brought in on the east under the orders of Daler Khan. After a brief delay there issued from the enclosure [207] the closed howdahs, one towards Dihli and the other towards Agrah. Each was escorted by one of the squadrons already alluded to, and they travelled with celerity.
