The flight of the Mughals seemed miraculous indeed. Barani describes the situation in the following words :—"This occasion, on which the army of Islam had received no injury from the Mughal force, and the city of Delhi had escaped unharmed, appeared one of the miracles of the age to all intelligent persons ; for the Mughals had arrived in great force early in the season, and had blockaded the roads against the entry of reinforcements or supplies ; and the royal army was suffering under the want of proper equipment, while they were in the most flourishing and hearty condition".⁵⁹
