Tano succeeded. He laid waste the lands of the Barahas,⁴ and those of the Langaha of Multan. But Husain Shah advanced with the Langaha Pathans,⁵ clothed in armour with iron helms, with the men of Dudi,⁶ of Khichi ⁷ the Khokhar; ⁸ the Mogul, the Johya,⁹ the Jud,⁹ and Sayyid, all mounted on horses, to the number of ten thousand men, to attack the Jadon. They reached the territory of the Barahas, who [234] joined them, and there they encamped. Tano collected his brethren around him, and prepared for defence. During four days they defended the castle; and on the fifth the Rao ordered the gates to be thrown open, and with his son, Bijairae, sallied out sword in hand, and attacked the besiegers. The Barahas were the first to fly, and they were soon followed by the rest of the Asurs. The victors carried the spoils of the field into Tanot. As soon as the armies of Multan and Langaha were driven off, the coco-nut came from Jiju, chief of the Butas of Butaban,¹ and an alliance offensive and defensive was formed against the prince of Multan.
