[*] A. N. 325, 409. The slaughter was estimated by Isardas at 5000 men on Aurangzib's side and ten thousand on Dara's, —the last figure being too high for a force which numbered less than 22,000 men and held an almost impregnable line of which three-fourths were untouched by the enemy. One hundred and fifteen elephants were killed on the two sides taken together (44a.) Kambu says that a heavy slaughter took place in Shah Nawaz Khan's trenches after the Imperialists had forced them.
