v1.c6.s23.t3.2
The fortress and palace in Lahor city were not entered. The Emperor and his four sons remained outside the city in their encampment, as if they were still on the march. The only difference was that the draught cattle and beasts of burden were dismissed, much of the impedimenta sent into store, and many of the *karkhanas* or manufacturing establishments which accompanied the camp were sent elsewhere. The imperial encampment was pitched near the village of Anwala, not far from the bank of the river Ravi. Azim-ush-shan took up a position between the Emperor and the river, and surrounded himself by a sort of fortification made out of the carts in which he carried his treasure. Prince Muizz-ud-din's camp lay near the market-place of Parwezabad facing the city. Prince Rafi-ush-shan was close to the river bank near Dharmus Bagh, while Prince Jahan Shah went to some distance and encamped in the open plain near the tomb of the saint Shah Mir Khush (3 miles s.e. of the city).
