His eldest son Muhi-us-sunnat also fought bravely till his elephant-driver and the friend seated behind the Prince were both slain. The Prince proceeded to drive the elephant himself and continued to fight until he became insensible from wounds from shot and arrows and fell down in his howda, leaving the elephant to rush hither and thither on the field. As all the leaders were directing their attention to Kam Bakhsh, no one noticed the young Prince's elephant. Plunderers got upon it, cut off the silken ropes and the broad-cloth trappings and took away everything they could carry off. The elephant escaped into the open country and was brought back under Zulfiqar Khan's orders by the Mahrattas who were hanging round the army with a view to plunder.
