¹ Khiẓr Khān, who took part in the battle as one of the Sayyad army, was near enough to know that ʿAbdullah Khān called out, but from the uproar could not hear his words. Some years afterwards (1138 H.) he met at Mathurā, Najm-ud-dīn ʿAlī Khān, then on his way to Aḥmadābād, and obtained from him the details in the text. Khāfī Khān, ii, 933, on the contrary, makes out that A. K. claimed aman (safety for life) by announcing himself as a Sayyad.
