v2.c27.s29.9
The author of Siyar-ul-mutākhkharin lived at Patna, at a vast distance from Delhi at this time, and his account of the battle (copied by Tarikh-i-Muzaffari with only two small additions) is based on hearsay. Shākir Khan was living in Pānipat in unemployment and poverty during the siege, but his Tazkira [Br. Mus. Add. 6585, I have used a Patna MS.] is too brief to be of any use.
