Fall of the Mughal Empire v4.c44.s2.61

v4.c44.s2.61

The spoils of victory amounted to 105 pieces of artillery, twenty-one elephants, 8,000 flintlocks, 1,300 camels, 300 horses, besides other kinds of property worth many lakhs. (DY. S. 29. HP. 575. Ibrat. iii. 375, gives 6,500 horses, 5,300 camels, 3,200 oxen &c., but I doubt these inflated round numbers.) The casualties on the side of the vanquished were five battalions and 3,000 Rāthor horsemen destroyed; but Ismail Beg's fine army was practically annihilated, it ceased to exist as a military unit and lost all its arms and equipment, tents, baggage and even cooking pots. On Sindhia's side, in the Household cavalry (huzurāt silehdār) 52 men were slain and 309 wounded (of these 188 by firearms), and 69 horses were killed and 104 wounded. No chief fell on either side.
