v4.c68.s8.6

At the news of this serious check, coming as it did on the top of two disasters on the same day, Aurangzib himself, girt round by his staff, advanced from his station in Firuz Jang's tent to aid his hard-pressed troops. Cannon-balls began to fall near his portable throne (takht-i-rawan), and one of them carried away the arm of his body-servant (khawas.) But he coolly kept his position and cheered his soldiers by his example.
