v1.c8.s17.1

Zulfiqar Khan chose a position resting, to the right or east, upon the gardens and houses of Agra, having to the left and the front, that is, the west and north, cultivated fields, thorny scrub, and many broad, deep ravines. To the south and rear the Emperor's camp was pitched. His troops were disposed in the following order. As the heavy artillery had been abandoned in the Jamuna sands, the light artillery under Raza Quli Khan was removed from the centre and sent to the front, where the guns were drawn up in line and chained together. The vanguard was divided by Zulfiqar Khan into two parts of fifteen thousand men each, one half under Kokaltash Khan (Khan Jahan) and the other under Jani Khan. In support, there were ten thousand men under Sabha Chand, Abdus-samad Khan and Muhammad Amin Khan. The first body was opposed to Abdullah Khan, and the second to Husain Ali Khan, who was on the right of Farrukh-siyar. Raji Muhammad Khan, the *Mir Atash*, was sent off with seven elephants to recover the heavy guns from the sand, and by great exertions he was able to bring forty of them into action.*
