Fall of the Mughal Empire v1.c15.s2.25

v1.c15.s2.25

∗ According to Husaini, p. 31. But *Siyar* iii. 43, *Muz.* 57 and Miskin 16 say that Muin opposed the Abdali for four months; evidently that period covered the entire campaign from the stand at the Bridge of Shah Daula to the fall of Lahor. Abdali's capture of Lahor.—*TAh.* 30a, 32; Miskin, 13-16. The other sources are later or secondary. *Siyar* iii. 43-44, *Muz.* 57-59, Husaini 31-34, Elliot viii. 167-168. Lahore Gazetteer (1883), 27, places the Abdali's camp near the Shālamār gardens, Muin's entrenchments "a short distance from the suburb of Shāhdara" and the last battle near the village of Mahmud Buti.
