In the evening of the third day (24 March, 1659), under cover of a furious massed attack on Dārā's left wing and a general cannonade along his entire front, a body of hillmen belonging to Rājā Rājrūp of Jammū climbed the back of the Gokla hill unperceived and thus seized the rear of Dārā's left wing. Then these trenches were stormed, the general in command, Shāh Navāz Khān, was killed, and shortly after nightfall Dārā fled from the field. When these facts became known the rest of his troops submitted to Aurangzīb. - [Previous: v4.c19.17](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.burn-1937.v4.c19.17) - [Next: v4.c19.19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.burn-1937.v4.c19.19) - [Up: v4.c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.burn-1937.v4.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.burn-1937.v4.c19.18](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.burn-1937.v4.c19.18) · Pramāṇa
