v4.c44.s2.47

The rival armies were arranged in two long lines running from south to north and facing each other. Ismail Beg's own contingent formed the right wing or extreme south of the confederates, then came a small body of Rathor horse, next Abdul Matlab's battalions, and thereafter the centre where the bulk of the Rajput cavalry was massed, and finally (at the north end) the left wing under the Jaipur Nāgā monks. There were also three rows of artillery in this army,—one before Ismail Beg, another before Abdul Matlab, and the third in the trenches of the Nāgās, a total of over 125 pieces.
