∗ As Jaswant wrote, "Everywhere there was face to face fighting. . . There was a shower of shot and bullets, and the cannon balls (grape?) grazed my turban and tunic, but Sri Krishna warded them off with his discus." (Thakur, ii. No. 59.) Much confusion has been created by each side claiming the victory, and ignoring its own losses. But Bhawāni Shankar’s personal recollections and the contemporary Punā news-letters enable us to see the truth. The engagement really extended over two days, with opposite results, but in the end Holkar had to retire. Kharé, Nos. 6444-6446, 6458, 6452. Gulgulé, 12 Oct. Mohan S. f. 107b. PRC. x. 60.
