He also set several parties of cavalry to invest the city and prevent ingress and egress. The city was in a state of siege; the roads were entirely closed. A famine broke out among the survivors of the massacre. Those who tried to leave Dihli and go to the neighbouring villages in quest of food, were intercepted by the cavalry patrols, deprived of their noses and ears, and driven back into the city. After some days a lamenting deputation waited on the Persian king and he at last permitted them to go to Faridabad to buy provisions. \[Hanway, ii. 377-378; Rajwade, vi.
