v1.c6.s13.9
For some time the Rajahs refused to believe the reports of Husain Khan's death, but at length they retraced their footsteps. Husain Khan's body was found still seated in the howda on his elephant, which had taken up its position beside a tank. He and the men around him were buried where they were found. The other slain were placed in common graves or "martyr-heaps" [*ganj-i-shahid*].* Round Husain Khan's tomb a mango orchard was planted and a handsome tomb erected. When Warid wrote, twenty-five years afterwards, the Rajputs round about invoked the name of Husain Khan every morning as they buckled on their swords.
