⁸⁴ *Ṭabaqāt-i-Akbarī*, Calcutta Text, p. 219. J. N. Sarkar's MS. It says that the Sultan's forces were numerically superior to those of Ismail Makh; Mr. King in his translation of the *Burhān-i-Māsir* (Ind. Ant. 1899, p. 143) gives a different version. He says: “Ismail Makh was ready for him (the Sultan) and formed line of battle in front of the Sultan's army; but the latter being twice again as weak as the followers of Ismail Afghan, however much it attacked and retreated gained no lasting advantage over them.”
