According to all the authorities this battle took place on the 8th of Muharram, 392 A.H. (\*c.\* 1001 A.D.). Amongst the booty obtained by the Sulṭān Muslim chroniclers give much prominence to the necklaces (\*mālā\*) worn by Jayapāla and his chiefs. According to Niẓām-ud-Dīn and Firishta, the \*mālā\* worn by the \*Sāhi\* prince was valued by experts ‘at 180,000 \*dīnārs\*,’² while ‘Utbī gives the value of all the ‘precious stones,’ ‘glittering pearls and valuable rubies’ at 200,000 \*dīnārs\* of ‘red gold.’
