⁷² Barani clearly says that the two nobles who were sent to bring them were killed in the first march. Calcutta Text, p. 514. The *Tarikh-i-Mubarak Shahi* says Ahmad Lāchīn was killed while others escaped. Firishta says Ahmad Lāchīn was slain, while the others fled to the camp of the Sultan. Briggs I, pp. 437-38. The Lucknow Text, (p. 142) clearly says that Sarjāmdār escaped. Badāoni supports Firishta I, 313. Barani is a contemporary writer and has a personal knowledge of these events, and, therefore, his statement is more trustworthy.
