v1.c8.s12.23

When word was brought to Farrukh-siyar's camp, his men streamed out like so many hungry hawks, to plunder and take possession. Men who had not known how to provide for one day's food, became suddenly masters of great wealth. The women's clothes left behind were so many, it is said, as to weary out those who were sent to count them. Farrukh-siyar's camp was now moved close to Khajwa. A pursuit was proposed, but countermanded by Farrukh-siyar. Of the property of the fugitives each man was told to keep what he had been able to seize. Eleven elephants were set aside to be afterwards given as presents. During a two days' halt at Khajwa some more men of note from the opposite side arrived to tender their submission, among them Sayyid Muzaffar Khan, maternal uncle of Abdullah Khan, Sayyid Hasan Khan (son of Sayyid Husain Khan) and Sayyid Mustafa Husain (grandson of Sayyid Qutb Nagori). Lutfullah Khan also seems to have taken advantage of the first opportunity to abandon Azz-ud-din and make his peace with Farrukh-siyar.†
