At the death of such an experienced able and resourceful leader, confusion fell on Sulaiman’s party. The master-mind which had firmly held the men together was gone, and the party broke up into flying atoms. “At the death of such a faithful follower, utter despair and confusion overtook Sulaiman.” More than half the party with him fled back to their homes. His force was reduced to 2,000 men.\* - [Previous: v2.c28.12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v2.c28.12) - [Next: v2.c28.14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v2.c28.14) - [Up: v2.c28](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v2.c28) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v2.c28.13](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v2.c28.13) · Pramāṇa
