Alim Ali Khan's elephant-driver, who was the brother-in-law of Mutahavvar Khan, was killed; Ghiyas-ud-din Khan commanding his artillery had fallen; so also had Ghalib Khan and Apaji, that officer's diwan, Shamsher Khan, Sayyid Wali and Sayyid Alam Barha: in all eight or nine of the chief men. The Mahrattas, however, had reached Nizam-ul-mulk's baggage and carried off some of his treasure of gold coins. At one time Alim Ali Khan's elephant had stuck in a marshy place, from which it extricated itself with great difficulty and came out on the farther side alone. The first thing its rider saw was the dead body of Mutahavvar Khan. Then between thirty and forty Barha Sayyids, sword in hand, forced their horses through the mud and rejoined their leader.
