“In the victorious army the slaves of the household behaved very gallantly, and such a virgin fort was worthy of their valoyr. At last, mines were sprung in five places, and the wall was brought down, and the fort was stormed by the sword on Monday, ten days before the close of Eabfu-1 awwal. The Brahmans and other higher men were slain, and their women and children were carried away captive, and all the treasure which was found was divided amongst the army. The fort was known in Hindustdn as " The Virgin," as no one yet had been able to take it.”
