v2.c13.s7.18

Nizam-ul-mulk’s scouts reported that the Sayyid was facing eastwards, with his guns in front. Nizam-ul-mulk thinking a frontal attack dangerous, enquired if the rear could be reached. The scouts said that by a détour of six *kos* this could be effected; the sun was not yet in the meridian, they had time to make the movement. Changing direction they arrived at the Sayyid's rear in about three hours and were then at a distance of one *kos*.
