v3.c41.s6.13

A relieving force under Muhammad Mumin Beg was held up on the way by a rise in the flood. Dilir Khan's proposal to send a column on elephants to the rescue of Farhad Khan, was rejected as likely to involve only additional loss. Consternation and despair reigned at the Mughal head-quarters and Farhad Khan's force was given up for lost.
