v1.c8.s17.13

Leaving Zulfiqar Khan's division on his right, Abdullah Khan began to work round to the rearguard of Jahandar Shah, at the moment when Kokaltash Khan on his way to Farrukh-siyar's centre, had been met and stopped by Chabela Ram. Abdullah Khan, as soon as he saw the Prince's danger, had detached Muhammad Khan, to protect their centre. Raza Quli Khan, general of Jahandar Shah's light artillery, had just turned his guns on Farrukh-siyar, when Muhammad Khan came up and by a hand to hand encounter silenced his fire, Raza Quli Khan himself losing his life. Chabela Ram, meanwhile, had defeated and killed Kokaltash Khan, whereupon that noble's men fell back upon the main body of Jahandar Shah's army, and threw his centre into confusion. Azam Khan, (Mhd Mah), brother of Kokaltash Khan, who had been severely wounded, succeeded in rejoining Jahandar Shah.†
