v5.c74.s13.3

When day broke, Zulfiqar called together all the officers of the army, great and small, explained his late action, reassured them, and bound them to his side by a lavish distribution of money and presents. Thus the Mughal army was saved by establishing unity of control. The Marathas, hoping to profit by the internal difficulties of the besiegers, created "an astonishing amount of tumult and disturbance near the camp from dawn to sunset." But Zulfiqar defended himself successfully, as he had no longer to fear any enemy within his own camp nor divided counsels. [M. A. 359.]
