v1.c6.s13.7

It seems that as their enemy disappeared from the field, the Sayyids' drums began to beat in honour of the victory. But Husain Khan espied one corner where a Rajput commander, with two thousand matchlockmen, was still busy in hastily loading his baggage camels. Enraged at this sight, Husain Khan hurried his elephant in that direction and was followed by a small group of horsemen. The Rajputs stood on an elevation; the Sayyid drew up on the low land beneath it. As they approached, their enemy delivered a musket volley and turned to flee. But this first discharge had unexpectedly deadly in its effects. The faujdar, his two brothers, and some fifty followers, before they had even time to draw their swords, were laid low. The death of the leaders was fatal to the Muhammadans' cause. Their men, already scattered and looking for plunder in the Rajput encampment or in the town of Sambhar, dispersed in every direction and sought for shelter wherever they could find it.
