The Mughals had killed Zafar Khan but they had seen the mettle of the army of Hindustan. Under the cover of the night they departed to a distance of thirty *kos* from Delhi.⁵¹ From thence they returned to their country by continuous marches without stopping on the way.⁵² The contemporary chronicler mentions with pride that the dread of the attack of Zafar Khan remained in the breasts of the Mughals for years and when their cattle would not drink water they would ask, "What! Have you seen Zafar Khan that you do not drink water?"⁵³
