As soon as Rustam Ali Khan, having driven Hamid Khan off the field, had gone away towards his own camp, Kanthaji began to plunder the rest of Hamid Khan’s baggage, the horses and goods of the survivors were appropriated, and in a few minutes a clean sweep was made of everything. On the other side, while this fight had been going on, Pilaji had laid hands similarly on the camp of Rustam Ali Khan, and had taken everything belonging to him except what was in the fort held by the Arab guard. The gun-carriages were set fire to, the guns spiked; horses, lead, powder, everything was removed as far as possible and the rest burnt. On Rustam Ali Khan’s return he found not a trace of his tents. Some of the men whose goods had gone told him their story; and all he could do was to pitch a small tent on the edge of the village tank. The wounded were attended to and the dead buried; among the latter was Kazim Beg Khan, who had fallen in the first onset.
