v5.c73.s4.4
Rustam himself, after receiving many wounds, fell down from his elephant and was carried off into captivity by Bābāji (? probably Mānāji) Moré. His right wing, under Ghalib, was hopelessly overpowered by the crowd of exultant Marathas, and he too was wounded and brought down from his elephant. Fifteen hundred of the Mughals fell on the field. The Maratha general in Satara fort now sallied out with his 5,000 men, enveloped the family of Rustam Khan, and carried off his mother, wife and some children into the fort. In addition to the Mughal general and his family, the Marathas made prize of 4000 horses, eight elephants and the entire camp and baggage of Rustam's army.
