v2.c13.s10.35

Altogether seventeen or eighteen noted chiefs, "riders on elephants," and a large number of men fell in the battle; while many more were wounded. Amin Khan, Umar Khan, Turktaz Khan, Fidai Khan, diwan of the Dakhin, and some other men of note transferred their services at once to Nizam-ul-mulk. Shankraji, the chief officer of Rajah Sahu Mahratta, was wounded and taken prisoner. The elephants and artillery of the defeated army became the property of the victorious general; the rest of their equipage was given up to plunder. The drums were then beaten to announce the victory. Muhammad Qasim Aurangabadi thinks that Nizam-ul-mulk's case was desperate, if Alim Ali Khan had not been killed. The Mahrattas were in his rear, and against his ten thousand were ranged fully eighty thousand men. Six hundred and thirty-four Mahrattas were killed. [K. K. 895, Ahwal 169a.]
