The victory was complete. All of Hīmū’s 1500 elephants had been captured and the broken remnant of his army was dispersed, but his wife had escaped from Delhi into Mewāt, taking with her all his treasure, and Pīr Muhammad Khān was sent in pursuit. He slew many fugitives and took much plunder, but Hīmū’s wife made good her escape and much of the treasure was lost. His aged father was captured and, on refusing to accept Islam, was put to death.
