v2.c18.s4.7

Before sunrise on Monday 12th February, the Persian army marched out of Sarai Azimabad, crossed the canal some nine miles east of that town, and encamped on a level plain six miles north-east of Karnal, evidently a little north of Kunjpura and within sight of the Jamuna. While the main division halted here, Nadir with a small escort galloped to the neighbourhood of Muhammad Shah’s position which was indicated by his standards and flags and the concentration of artillery round it. After reconnoitring the enemy’s numbers and dispositions, he returned to his own tents.
