thefe difficulties, and Jmeng-Zebe, with the fmall number left him, would not have
been able to bid head to this Vicforious Army, if Vara had known how to profit of the
prize he had m his hands. But here he failed t of which I (hall now (hew the occafion
and how thereby the Scale was turned to Jureng-Zebe’s advantage ’
Paw perceived that his left Wing was in great diforder, and he was informed, that
Ru/taM-Kanand Cbatnfak were killed; that Ramfiigne Komle had too far advanced
that he had indeed forced the Enemy, and made way through the midft of them-, but
that now he was furrounded every way, and in very great danger. This it was, which
made Vara dehfl from his defign of making directly towards Aurerig-Zebe, that he
might go to fuccour his left Wing. There at firft the Battel was alfo very ffiarp but Vara
at laft carried it 5 forcing and routing all, yet fo, as that there hill remained fomethino
that retmed and hopped him. Mean time, Kamfeigne Koutle fought with fo much cou
rage and vigour as was poilible. He wounded Morad-Bakphe^ and came fo near him that
nt began to cut the Girdles of his Elephant, to make him fall down* but the valour
and good fortune of Morad-Bakhe gave not time enough for it. In fhort, never any
Man fought and defended himfelf morebmvely, than Morad-Bak^he did on this occati-
°n: All wounded as he was, and prehed by thc'Ragipous oi Kamfeigne Routle who
were round about him, he was not daunted, nor gave way in the leah, but knew fo
t- fu? o S a hhough he was, belides defending himfelf, to cover with
his Ihield a Son of his, but of feven or eight years of Age, who was fitting on his
hde, he made an Arrow-lhot fo luckily at Ranifeigne Ilsutle, that it made him fall dead
to the ground.
Vara foon heard the fad News of this Accident but at the fame time he underhood
alio that Morad-Bakcbe was in very great danger* the Ragipom fighting furioufly, and
like Lions, to revenge the death of their Maher. And though he faw, on that fide
the way was very difficult, and that he hill found Lome fmall Body oppofing and
retarding him * yet he was determined to rufh through to Morad-Backcbe : And doubt-
lefs this was the beh he could do, and that, which was capable to repair the fault he
had committed in not doing his bufinefs thoroughly with Aureng-Zebe. But his bad
fortune kept him from it, or rather, one of the blackeh Treacheries that ever was ima
gined, and the greateft overfight that was ever committed, did caufethe entire lofsand
ruin of Vara,
Calil-ullab-Kan (he that commanded the thirty thoufand Mogols , which made the
right Wing, and were alone able to defeat the whole Army of Aureng-Zebe) did,
whilft Vara and his left Wing fought with fo much courage and fuccefs, keep off, as
idle as if he were not concerned in the fray, not perrpitting any one of his Horfemen to
uioot an Arrow, with a pretence, that they were for a Referve, and that he had ex-
prefs Order not to fight but in the lalf extremity. But the true caufe was, that he re-
ferved, in his bread the rancour of an old Affront, done him by Vara, when he com
manded him to be (truck. But after all, this Treachery would have done no great
mifchief, if this infamous Man had contented himfelf with this firft Effedl of his Re-
Entment: Behold, how far he carried his rage, and revengefulnefs ! He cut himfelf off
rom his ' main Body, and taking only a few men with him, rid with all poifible fpeed
towards Vara, at the fame time when he was turning to fall on Morad-Bakpbe, and
bein § come fo near as to make himfelf be heard, cryed out with all his force * Mobba-
Kcl^bad, Hazaret, Salamct, Elbamdul-ella * God fave your Majefiy, you have obtain
ed the Victory * ^what will you do any longer upon your Elephant > Is it not enough,
mat you have expofed your felf fo long ? if the lead of thofe (hots, that have been
made into your Vais, had reached your Perfon, what would have become of us ? Are
mere Traitors wanting in this Army? in the Name of God come down quickly and
mke Horfe. What remains more to be done, than to purfue thofe Run-aways. Let
Us do fo, nor let us fuffer that they (houlde efcape our hands!
f Vara had had wit enough to difcover the cheat, and to confider upon a fudden
me confequences of his not appearing any more upon the Elephant, and being no
mere fcen by the whole Army, always eying him, or rather, if he had prefently com
manded to cut off the Head of this Para fiscal Traitor, he had been Mader of all. But
me good Prince differed himfelf to be blinded by thefe fweet words’: He hearkned to
. ms advice, as if it had been very true and very fincere* he defeended from his Elephant,
