v1.c6.s6.12
Bidar Bakht this day was mounted on a war elephant, his quiver at his back and his bow on his arm. His chief men surrounded him. Zulfiqar Khan followed on the left with Ram Singh Hada and Rao Dalpat Bundela, two men long in his employ, and his trusty friend Amanullah Khan who, though separate, appeared as if he were part of Zulfiqar Khan's corps. With the advance guard of the centre (iltimsh) marched Aziz Khan Afghan, while still further in advance were Khan Alam Dakhini and his brother Munavvar Khan. On the right was Prince Wala-jah with Amanullah Khan (Abdullah Khan), servant of Azam Shah. The centre followed, under the direct command of Azam Shah, around whom were gathered Tarbiyat Khan, Mutallib Khan, Khudabanda Khan, Hamid-ud-din Khan Bahadur [?], Amir Khan, and others. In this way they drew near to Jajau without learning the exact position of Bahadur Shah or the direction of his advance. [Iradat, 30.]
